As the holiday shopping season approaches, the City of Wayzata is gearing up to illuminate the town with festive spirit by showcasing its vibrant retail and dining community.
Building on the success of last year’s initiative, a new tradition is set to unfold with the announcement of the annual Holiday Window Decorating Contest.
Businesses, ranging from banks and retail stores to restaurants, are invited to participate in this creative endeavor.
The City aims to attract shoppers to the area by highlighting the most original, unique, whimsical, elegant, well-lit, and creatively decorated windows.
Whether street-facing or within a mall, each window will play a role in enhancing the holiday ambiance of Wayzata.
Judging for the contest is scheduled for November 24th, with winners and participants set to be acknowledged at the December 1st City Council meeting.
The City anticipates a display of festive creativity that not only enhances the holiday spirit but also fosters a sense of community pride.
Last year’s window decorating contest saw remarkable success, with captivating displays captured through photographs featured on the City’s website.
This year, the City encourages businesses to surpass previous achievements, contributing to the festive atmosphere that defines Wayzata during the holiday season.
The categories for judging include the most original/unique, most whimsical, most elegant, best lighting, best use of materials, and best traditional holiday decorating.
The City encourages widespread participation to make this year’s contest even more memorable.
