4:00 – 8:00 – PM
The Downtown Merchants Association (DMA) invites you to head to downtown Gaylord on Saturday, October 5, 2024, for Witchin’ Night Out! Taking place from 4:00 – 8:00 p.m., guests will be treated to a howling good time, including spectacular savings on merchandise, themed games, fun photo backdrops, complimentary refreshments and prizes galore (including popular DMA Bucks, which can be used at a variety of local establishments).
Witchin’ Night Out tote bags are your key to an evening of spooky specials! Bring your tote from previous years or purchase a new one for just $10 to receive discounts from retailers and restaurants, enter drawings, take part in games and even get free swag. Totes may be purchased in advance from 11am until 7pm starting on September 28th at The Rusty Pelican, and will also be available the night of the event.
Participating businesses will display a paper witch’s hat on their door or window, so you know right where the action is. Plan on stopping by White Birch Outfitters, K&M Mercantile, Woolybuggers, Real Estate One, Alpine Chocolat Haus, Snowbelt Brewing Company, Alpine Tavern, CRAVE, The Rusty Pelican, Gaylord Area Council for the Arts, Tools to Teach and Great Rooms Furniture. Complimentary witch hats, courtesy of your friends at Horizon Bank, will be distributed at Brennan’s Up North Coffee Shop while supplies last.
The DMA is also launching a contest through the Facebook event for Witchin’ Night Out. Participants can enter the “Best Witch Hat Contest” by posting a photo of themselves wearing a witch hat on the event page now through October 4th at 9:00 p.m. See the Downtown Gaylord Facebook page for details.
