On Plaid Friday (the day after Thanksgiving, November 24th), shop in Downtown Newnan and simplify your Day-After-Thanksgiving experience! The name “Plaid Friday” celebrates the idea of LOCAL! The plaid pattern represents weaving the individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses. Plaid Friday is the relaxing and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday,” and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays. Wear plaid attire during Plaid Friday and expect to SAVE, as numerous downtown businesses will offer a significant discount to any customer wearing Plaid clothing!
Santa on the Square is hosted each year after Plaid Friday, with the event lasting from 6pm- 8pm. Santa will arrive downtown in a Fire Truck, and will immediately light the Christmas tree located on the Court House Square. After the lighting of the Christmas tree, children are invited to sit on Santa’s lap and read him their Christmas list! This annual tradition in Downtown Newnan reminds us all of the importance of the holiday season: fostering hope, charity, forgiveness, and kindness. The City of Newnan’s Leisure Services Department is bringing extra Christmas cheer and fun to this event beginning at 5:00pm. In conjunction with Main Street’s Santa on the Square, Leisure Services is hosting a Christmas Carnival packed with games and a special visit by Santa’s LIVE REINDEER!
