Business owners and the Bloomfield Center Alliance will welcome shoppers to Bloomfield Center to participate in the third annual Holiday Hunt event, which will include music, activities and prize giveaways.

Bloomfield Center’s 2022 Holiday Hunt will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26, which is also Small Business Saturday. Small Business Saturday encourages people to shop local at smaller, brick and mortar businesses in their communities during the holidays.

It is a family-friendly event filled with holiday music, including a live performance by The Olde Towne Carolers strolling around the plaza. A live ice sculpting demonstration will be held by The Ice Farm. There will also be complimentary hot beverages offered from Brandon’s Coffee Shop, a chance to win free gifts and a visit from Santa in the plaza.

“We are always excited to host events that highlight our local businesses and this Holiday Hunt allows us to put a spotlight on Bloomfield Center and create a festive atmosphere in the community for residents and visitors doing their holiday shopping,” said Ollyn Lettman, Director of the Bloomfield Center Alliance.

Attendees will receive a Bloomfield Center Holiday Hunt Map highlighting the various participating Holiday Hunt Destinations. People who check out five or more destinations and/or make purchases of $20 or more on the day of the hunt will be entered to win cool prizes from local businesses. Gift basket winners will be drawn after the live ice sculpting demonstration as the event comes to a close between 3:45 and 4 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged via Eventbrite, though not required.
