Description

The streets are filled with holiday cheer!

Each year, Charleston businesses dress up their storefront windows for the holiday season - and a friendly competition!

While you Shop Small this holiday season, check out the participating businesses and cast your vote for People's Choice!

Businesses can register here through Thursday, November 20th!

How to vote: each participating business will have a sign in their window with a QR code. Beginning November 28, you can scan that QR code to fill out your ballot for People's Choice in each of 5 neighborhoods (Downtown, East End, Kanawha City, South Hills/Bridge Road, West Side). If we don’t have a minimum of three businesses per neighborhood, we will combine neighborhoods for the People’s Choice voting.

Best in Show is awarded by a panel of judges.
