ESTEVAN - Estevan Downtown Business Association (DBA) president Laurel Buck says the organization has a couple of "fantastic" events planned for the Christmas season.
The DBA will bring back Moonlight Madness on Dec. 5 from 4-9 p.m., and the Miracle on Fourth Street will be Dec. 14 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
This will be the first time since 2020 that the DBA has hosted Moonlight Madness. Buck said the DBA wanted to have an event with a greater emphasis on shopping, with sales and in-store specials during the evening.
"We will have our passports again, so if you pick up a passport at a participating business, and then you get two stamps for purchases at … our stores, then you're entered to win a gift valued at over $500," said Buck.
She hopes it will be a nice night in downtown Estevan, and Buck looks forward to seeing Santa Claus and hearing some Christmas music.
The Miracle on Fourth Street will be more of a family event, she said, although there will still be lots of opportunities to complete Christmas shopping. Other highlights will include sleigh rides, street hockey, marsh mellow roasts, and crafts and games.
Buck said the two events are also an opportunity to show off the work that has taken place in the 1100 and 1200 blocks of Fourth Street during the downtown revitalization project. She hopes the two blocks of Fourth Street will be shut down to vehicle traffic for both events, because it will be easier for people crossing the street.
Moonlight Madness will go ahead regardless of weather, but some things can't happen for the Miracle on Fourth if it's too cold or if the street is too icy.
