Come kick-off your holiday shopping on Thursday, November 9th from 5:00pm – 8:00pm in the heart of Downtown Iowa City! Holiday cheer will be in the air and your favorite retailers will have all the festive goodies available for purchase. There will be an abundance of activities to look forward to…grab your family and friends and make an evening of this one-night-only event.

Our Pop-up Markets will be making a reappearance in Black Hawk Mini Park! Wilson’s Orchard and Farm will be occupying a market as well as Fontenelle’s Supply Co. The ICDD will be handing out complimentary refreshments nearby.

An old-school trolley will be making the rounds around the downtown, taking shoppers to and from the downtown and Northside Neighborhood. Hawkapellas and UI Old Gold will be singing a cappella throughout the evening, and last but not least, our holiday lights will be turned on for the first time this season!
