Discover something for everyone on your list - even the person who is difficult to shop for!
The Downtown Blenheim Business Improvement Area (BIA) is thrilled to announce the return of the community’s beloved Home for the Holidays shopping event, taking place November 20, 21, and 22, 2025. This three-day celebration invites residents and visitors alike to shop, explore, and connect with local businesses while checking off everyone on their holiday shopping list.
Home for the Holidays is more than just a shopping event, it’s a festive experience that captures the true spirit of community and the joy of giving. With special sales, discounts, and tax-free savings offered throughout the event, there’s no better time to find meaningful gifts for family, friends, loved ones, co-workers, and neighbours - everyone who makes a difference in your life.
“Home for the Holidays is the perfect time to explore, discover, and for some, rediscover downtown Blenheim,” said Mike Russelo, Chair of the Blenheim BIA Board. “You have access to a wide range of boutique stores that cater to everything including home décor, clothing and the latest fashions, special gifts, sporting memorabilia, and even things for that hard-to-shop-for person.”
Russelo added, “There are so many gems in downtown Blenheim that you just can’t find anywhere else, plus there are caring people available to help you with personalized service. It’s why people travel from all over Ontario and even the States to shop here, there is so much to discover.”
Home for the Holidays is designed to showcase everything that makes Blenheim’s downtown shopping district unique, from its warm hospitality and small-town charm to its diverse range of locally owned stores. Shoppers can enjoy a leisurely stroll through decorated streets, take in the festive atmosphere, and browse everything from handcrafted goods to one-of-a-kind finds.
For those who prefer online shopping, many downtown retailers also offer online stores and free local pickup options, making it easier than ever to support small businesses while enjoying modern convenience.
Participating stores will feature extended shopping hours throughout the weekend, so everyone can take their time exploring all that downtown Blenheim has to offer.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect present, treating yourself to something special, or simply enjoying a seasonal outing with family and friends, you’ll find it all right here in Blenheim.
