NILES, Mich. – This Small Business Saturday, the Niles Main Street community organization is hosting a full day of deals, live music and experiences for the whole family to celebrate local businesses.

The festivities begin at 9 a.m. with the Holly Jolly Artisan Market at The Grand LV, where community members can browse through local artisanal goods and handmade crafts. During this time, visitors can also check out an open house at the Chapin Mansion and attend the Rockin’ Small Business Saturday Music Festival, which will run until dusk downtown.

As the day progresses, families can enjoy horse drawn carriage rides around town and gather for a tree lighting ceremony in downtown Niles. To top it all off, there will be a meet and greet and photo op with Santa Claus at a local business later in the evening.
