TRYON—The Tryon Downtown Development Association recently announced several events to celebrate the holiday season, starting with Small Business Saturday on November 30.

Small Business Saturday is held the first weekend after Thanksgiving each year to give community members a head start on holiday shopping while supporting a variety of downtown businesses. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m..

Look for great deals and big smiles during this one-of-a-kind shopping experience that only Tryon can offer.

The following week, the Tryon Christmas Stroll will be held on Friday, December 6, kicking off Christmas celebrations in style. Festive music, carolers, holiday treats and more will be featured, and downtown businesses and art galleries will offer extended shopping hours and refreshments.
