Time:
3:00 PM - 4:00 PM CDT
Event Description:
Our newly formed Navarre Chamber Holiday Committee recently met on Tuesday, September 30th.
We’re energized to bring a beloved tradition to the Navarre area:
Community Holiday Open House Weekend
Our hope is that this event takes everyone back to simpler times with neighbors popped into businesses, sharing treats, and helped to kick off the holiday season together.
We’ve scheduled Navarre's Holiday Open House Weekend: November 13, 14, 15 and 16, 2025.
We would love your feedback AND your participation.
What’s the idea?
Invite all locally owned and/or operated businesses in the Navarre area to host a Holiday Open House during Thursday–Sunday, November 13–16, 2025 (you decide on the day(s) and hour(s)).
Residents and visitors will be invited to wander the Navarre area - discovering beautiful boutiques, fun shops, and cozy restaurants—as businesses transition into the full sparkle of the season.
Theme: “Celebrate the Spirit of the Season in Navarre”
