Late & Late-er Night Andersonville November 30, 2012

Andersonville makes it easy to save money AND support local businesses while shopping for friends and family (or even yourself!) at the 10th annual Late Night Andersonville on Friday, November 30 from 6-10pm. For 4 hours only, over 40 beloved Andersonville stores and restaurants will be open late and offering great savings on distinctive holiday gifts and delectable meals. This event is great for shoppers of all ages and features free entertainment, great refreshments and a chance to get pictures taken with Santa (6-8pm at the Swedish American Museum, 5211 N. Clark). Entertainment highlights include free holiday movie nights, live music and caroling, artist demonstrations, and more!

Are you a procrastinator when it comes to holiday shopping? Are you at your most productive when the stress of a quickly approaching holiday is giving you a little extra motivation? Then join us for our second night of Late Night Andersonville, just a little “late-er” than usual. On Friday, December 14 from 6-10pm, take advantage of 4 more hours of the same discounts from Late Night Andersonville, plus once again enjoy free entertainment, refreshments, and pictures with Santa.

You can also wrap your gifts for FREE at eco-Andersonville’s Green Gift Wrapping Bash! Held in conjunction with Late-er Night Andersonville at George’s Ice Cream & Sweets (5306 N. Clark) from 6-10pm, it gives shoppers the opportunity to fashion gift wrap out of an assortment of blueprints, movie posters, printer overruns, and other colorful items that would otherwise have gone to a landfill. Free refreshments will be generously provided by George’s Ice Cream & Sweets. For more information about eco-Andersonville, visit www.eco-Andersonville.org.
