Hello, November! If October’s Trick or Treat on Main was any indication, this is going to be a good month downtown.
A big thank-you to the merchants, volunteers, families, and partners who filled Main Street with costumes, candy, and community spirit. Seeing everyone out together is one of our favorite parts of the season.
This month, Santa’s Mailbox is making its way to Durant! Bring your letters to Market Square during Durant’s Tree Lighting on Saturday, November 21, from 6–8 p.m. After the lighting, Santa’s Mailbox will move to Three Valley Museum, so there will be another chance to send him a note.
On November 28, make a day of shopping small and showing some love to our downtown businesses.
The Gingerbread Village is also taking shape at Three Valley Museum. Individual and family entries are $10; team and business entries are $20. Bring your house by November 30, and visit durantmainstreet.com for the rules and regulations. Stop by the free Open House on December 1 from 3–6:45 p.m., before the Christmas Parade at 7 p.m. The village display will be open through December 31.
Small Town Christmas weekend is December 4–5, with carriage rides planned both days. Night Shift’s Ugly Sweater Cookie Crawl is Friday, December 4, from 5–8 p.m. More participation and ticket details are coming soon.
We’ll also start sharing an early look at the Art & W**e Festival on March 20, 2027, and a few first clues for the Met Gala on May 1, 2027. Keep an eye out—there’s plenty more to come.
Welcome, November. We’re glad you’re here. See you downtown!
