Port Holiday Magic Fun and Deals

Port Holiday Magic is a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve our neighborhoods. This year’s theme is even more important than ever before. Not only do our businesses need our support, but we can feel safer shopping in our own neighborhood rather than at a mall or a box store. And everyone benefits when we remember “BEFORE YOU CLICK AND BUY, GIVE PORT A TRY.”

To make this day extra festive and to kick off the holiday shopping season in a big way, the Greater Port Washington BID, the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, Residents Forward and Landmark on Main Street are celebrating with our own Port Holiday Magic! To start the celebration, everyone is invited to join the Residents Forward Let's Walk PW Team at the Mural Garden (located next to 5 Main Street) at 11:30AM. Then take a short musical walk with Mrs. Claus, and escorted by a DJ, to the train station. Everyone who participates will receive a coupon for a free hot chocolate at a local bakery and the chance to win a gift card to a local business. Once at the train station, kids of all ages can see Santa ride past on a firetruck. He will travel along Port Washington Boulevard, Main Street, Shore Road and Manorhaven Boulevard.

Stores throughout town will have special holiday offers for shoppers. Some offers will be for the whole holiday season and some stores will arrange for delivery or pick-up. Check out the list below and for the latest updates, go to the Events on the Try Port First mobile app, or visit pwcoc.org.

Shoppers will enjoy live and recorded musical entertainment outside as they stroll from store to store. The entertainers will be at the train station, at Ayhan’s Corner and at other locations on Main Street. There will be a number of holiday themed backgrounds for your perfect holiday selfies, including an old fashioned sleigh, an inflatable snowman, an inflatable tree and an inflatable Santa on a motorcycle. Port Washington will look especially festive for the celebration. The BID will install lit snowflakes on the utility poles and the Chamber will adorn the Main Street lampposts with garland, lights and red bows. Stores throughout town will be going all out to win the Port Holiday Magic Window Decorating Contest.

To support both the businesses and shoppers, the Town of North Hempstead is suspending all on-street parking meter fees from Port Holiday Magic on Small Business Saturday to January 1, 2022. The Port Washington Police District will provide extra safety for shoppers at the major crossings.

The event raises awareness of the vital role small businesses play in our community and our economy. This year more than ever, shopping locally for the holidays is safe, convenient, and easy. You are supporting your local merchants who not only appreciate your business but also pay a large share of property taxes and help maintain the economic stability of our community. They also offer special customer services that the online merchants and big box stores don't offer and they support requests for donations for our community organizations like the schools, scouts, religious and civic institutions, and others. Importantly, online shoppers may not realize that for every $100 you spend in your local small businesses, $68 stays in our community through jobs, taxes, contributions to non-profits and more. For every $100 you spend online, $0 stays in our community.

Help strengthen our community by supporting local businesses that support our town. Shop Local on November 27 and throughout the holiday season.

Below are some of the special Port Holiday Magic offers from our local businesses (as of November 8). Be sure to look for the gold and red bow on the doors of participating businesses and show them your support. All the store specials are available rain, snow or shine!
