Shopping, Santa and Cookies - Oh My!
Manzanita / Nehalem / Wheeler - Plaid Friday
PLAID FRIDAY!
Join the creative, independent downtown Manzanita businesses for a pre-holiday shopping bonanza all day long. And the big news, this year our tri-city sister cities Nehalem and Wheeler are joining in the fun!
Skip the "Black Friday" crowds and enjoy a fun-filled, relaxing alternative to the big city mayhem in an event designed to promote and introduce visitors to local businesses. And take advantage of Plaid Friday specials!
"Plaid Friday" originates from the idea of weaving individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses.
9:00 am - 7:00 pm. Look for the distinctive Plaid Friday posters in merchants windows, and enjoy a fabulous day of holiday shopping and limited time specials in downtown Manzanita!
