The city of Vestavia Hills and the Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce will help usher in the holiday season by presenting the third annual Holiday in the Hills Festival starting next month.
Several events will take place in November and December celebrating the holiday season as a community and encouraging shoppers to support local businesses, Chamber officials said.
The Chamber will host two kickoff parties for the 2013 Holiday in the Hills festivities. The first will be on Nov. 14 in the Dogwood Room of the Vestavia Hills Civic Center, and the second will be on Nov. 21 at the New Merkle House in Cahaba Heights. Both events will be held from 3:30-5:30 p.m.
The first 100 people to arrive at each party will receive an insulated shopping bag filled with coupons, special event flyers and promotions from participating merchants.
Those attending the kickoff parties can also pick up prize passports, booklets that shoppers take to participating merchants during the Holiday in the Hills Festival to have them stamped. When shoppers get stamps from three different business districts on their passport, they turn it in to the Chamber office for a chance to win an iPad and other prizes at the drawing that will be held at the Dec. 7 Breakfast with Santa event.
Shoppers can look for door decorations at individual businesses to see if those merchants are participating in the Holiday in the Hills event.
