The 22nd Annual Avalon Shop At Home Night is Saturday, Dec. 5, from 5 – 9 p.m It’s a merry way to get into the holiday spirit, enter to win prizes, enjoy the yuletide entertainment, and have a fun money-saving evening of holiday shopping, while supporting the community.

 Shop At Home Night kicks off with a tree lighting ceremony on Wrigley Stage on the waterfront in Avalon.  Shoppers can gather around to watch the festivities as Santa and his “helpers” arrive by Fire truck.  The community tree lighting will start at 5 p.m. on Saturday and Catalina Kid Ventures will sing a couple holiday songs.   Be sure to pick up the Treasure and Discount cards and hit the stores!  Adding to the festivities, many of the participating stores will be offering refreshments and holiday treats.   

Avalon retailers are planning some terrific discounts and all shoppers will be able to enter to win prizes.  On Shop At Home Night, each store will have a drawing to give away an in-store gift or gift certificate.  Get your Treasure Card stamped at each of the participating merchants and enter to win reservations for two to the 2015 New Year’s Eve Gala. 

Shoppers will also receive one Shop at Home Discount Card valid through Christmas Eve at any of the 20 participating Avalon retailers. The discount card can be picked up during Shop At Home Night at any participating store and will be good for 10-30 percent off all purchases made at any participating store between Dec. 5 and Dec. 24. Some merchants are offering a larger discount on Shop at Home Night only. No purchase is necessary to receive the Shop at Home Discount Card or to enter the in-store drawing, but you must be 16 years or over. 
Other events happening during Shop At Home Night include:  

•  Get your photo taken with Santa. Bring two cans of food and your camera to El Galleon Restaurant and take your kids photo with Santa.

• Winter Wonderland at Descanso Beach Club from 7-9pm.
