Calling on Ridgefieldâs creative community!
Weâre thrilled to announce Ridgefieldâs 2nd annual Storefront Decorating Contest, celebrating the creativity, character, and holiday spirit of Ridgefield.
This fast and festive competition runs from Friday, November 27 (Town Lighting) through Friday morning, December 4 (Holiday Stroll).
As neighbors and visitors explore Ridgefield, theyâll have the opportunity to vote for their favorite storefront displays using QR codes provided to participating businesses.
ALL BUSINESSES ARE WELCOME TO PARTICIPATE, DOWNTOWN AND BEYOND!
Rather than traditional first, second, and third place prizes, weâre celebrating creativity with three distinctly Ridgefield award categories:
⨠Holiday Spirit Award
â¤ď¸ Community Heart Award
đ¨ Cultural District Showcase Award
Interpret these categories however you see fit! We canât wait to see what Ridgefieldâs creative community comes up with.
The Prizes: Each of our three award winners will receive a special holiday wreath with a custom keepsake ornament hanging from it, prominently displaying their winning award title. The wreath will be theirs to proudly hang at their storefront all season long. And when the decorations come down, the personalized ornament will be theirs to keep for years to come.
đ Winners will be announced by Ridgefield First Selectman, Rudy Marconi, at the opening ceremony of Saturdayâs Holiday Stroll on December 5!
Participation Fee: $25 per storefront
Registration Deadline: November 20
Letâs show Connecticut how its first designated Cultural District celebrates the season!
