Pentwater’s Christmas in the Village is back this year on three Saturdays throughout December. Each will include Christmas caroling with hot chocolate and a bonfire on top of the Village Green, discounts for patrons sporting Santa hats and/or ugly Christmas sweaters, and voting for favorite Christmas window with all donations going to the local food pantry.
The Reindeer Run will be Dec. 7 from noon to 4 p.m. In this poker run, collect cards at participating downtown businesses, and the best hand wins.
The Sock Hop is set for Dec. 14. Shoppers can purchase a stocking for $50 and receive a little something from each of the participating merchants. All funds raised will be given towards the Pentwater Public School track.
Pentwater Gives Back will be Dec. 21. From opening of business until 5 p.m, for every $25 spent at participating businesses shoppers will receive a ticket to place in one of three charity boxes on the Village Green. The charity with the most tickets will receive a donation of $500. Each ticket will enter the person into a drawing to win a quilt donated by Sew Let’s Be Quilty, gift certificates and items donated from the participating businesses on the Nice List.
Horse-drawn wagon rides will be offered starting at the Village Green from 1-4 p.m. on both Dec. 14 and Dec. 21. Please check out the Christmas in the Village Facebook page for more information and to see memories of past celebrations
