Downtown Petoskey Holiday Open House

Meet your friends and neighbors and bask in the ambiance of the holiday season!

Holiday Open House

First Friday in December , 3-9pm

Our Holiday Open House takes place each year on the first Friday night in December. During this event, we celebrate the beauty of the season and thank our loyal customers for supporting us over the years.

Bring the whole family for free photos with Santa from 6:30–8:30 PM at Luci & Carl’s Candy Cabin. It’s one of our favorite nights of the season, don’t miss it!

Merchants bring out food and beverages and host a big party inside the stores and out in the streets. Petoskey will block off our downtown streets and you will find carolers, hot cocoa stations, roasted chestnuts, and even an old-fashioned bean pot all set up in the streets.

The evening starts with the annual tree lighting in Pennsylvania Park, with Santa doing the honors of lighting the giant pine tree.

The Petoskey Steel Drum Band performs on their double-decker trailer throughout the evening. At the end of the event, they will play a last song as they drive down Lake Street to head back to the high school.
