A Look Ahead to the Holidays
Media has a great tradition of holiday events and a beautiful streetscape for shoppers and diners to enjoy. As we prepare for the 2011 season, here's a quick preview of upcoming events:
- 12-Nov: 2nd Saturday
- 19-Nov: 9th Annual Jazz By Night Celebration
- 22-Nov: The Sound of Music opens at The Media Theatre
- 25-Nov: Santa's Arrival & Festival of Lights

We hope everyone will stay open late on the Carriage Ride and 2nd Saturday nights if they can. We'll be making the Carriage Rides a little more special again this year with an extended route that takes riders from Monroe to Orange Streets, driver's scripts that will highlight Media landmarks, and the MBA will be providing warm refreshments. We'll also be giving all riders a special Media bag... if you have anything you'd like to contribute to the bags (advertisements, coupons, small gifts, candy, etc), please let us know. This is a great way to reach potential customers directly.
Please note that 20 on the Town will not officially occur on 11/12 and will be revisited as an off-season event in the Spring.Are you doing anything special this season? Please send us your details (discounts, promotions, hospitality, etc.) and we'll help spread the word through the VisitMediaPa.com calendar, iPhone app, Facebook and Twitter. |
