We promote the District’s unique characteristics to shoppers, investors, new businesses and visitors by an effective program that forges image through advertising, events and marketing campaigns.
Christmas in the City 2024
Christmas in the City is on Saturday, December 7, 2024 from 2:00 to 6:00 PM in
Downtown Batavia. Our local shops and organizations will be offering holiday specials and activities. Events held in the mall will go from 2-5 PM and include pictures with Santa, cookie decorating, Santa’s workshop, and culminating the night with a Holiday Parade down Main Street.
More than 1,000 people pack the streets of Downtown every year for this great event
as it kicks our community into the holiday season. We would love to invite you to be a part
of this year’s event. There are several opportunities to participate:
- Enter your business or group into the Holiday Parade. Parade participants can
walk or drive a vehicle or float decorated for the holiday season. We ask that no one puts a Santa on their float, as we have a hired one for the event. - Sponsor the event.
- Volunteer to help with organizing the event and/or assisting with
parade line up.
For questions please contact Shannon Maute at the Downtown Batavia BID: 585-409-5531 or by emailing Director@DowntownBataviaNY.com. All forms can be mailed or emailed over for participation in this year’s event.
