Main Street Downtown Greenfield
Downtown Greenfield will be buzzing with love this February as Main Street Downtown Greenfield hosts the annual Love Local Sweetheart Stroll on Saturday, Feb. 7 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Sweetheart Stroll is a fun and festive shopping event designed to celebrate local businesses while giving shoppers a reason to explore downtown.
Participants will stroll from shop to shop, collecting sweet treats and specialty drinks along the way, all while enjoying exclusive shopping experiences and supporting small businesses in the heart of the community.
Sweetheart Stroll tickets are $5 and include a stroll map, treat samples at participating businesses, and access to the full stroll experience. To ensure a great experience for everyone, ticket sales will be capped at 100 participants. Tickets can be purchased through Main Street Downtown Greenfield and Sassy Sisters Boutique.
Shops throughout downtown will be open to all shoppers that day, not just ticket holders. While only ticketed participants will receive the sweets and treats along the stroll, everyone is encouraged to come downtown, shop local, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere.
In addition to the stroll, shoppers can take part in the Love Local Raffle, featuring a basket valued at over $200 and filled with local goods and services generously donated by downtown businesses. Raffle tickets are $5 and can be purchased through Main Street Downtown Greenfield and Sassy Sisters Boutique. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the McClain Marching Band, helping fund the purchase of a new band trailer.
“The Love Local Sweetheart Stroll is all about bringing people downtown, encouraging them to shop small, and highlighting everything that makes our local businesses special,” said Ali Vesey, the Promotions & Event Chairperson for Main Street Downtown Greenfield.
“It’s a great way to spend the day with friends, family, or a sweetheart while giving back to our community.”
Community members are encouraged to follow Main Street Downtown Greenfield and Sassy Sisters Boutique on Facebook for event updates and individual business hours of operation.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself, a loved one, or simply looking for a fun way to spend the day, the Love Local Sweetheart Stroll offers a sweet way to support downtown Greenfield.
