On the Thursday before Thanksgiving, Main Street businesses package the exterior of their window displays as beautiful Christmas presents. When the clock strikes 6:30 p.m., the countdown begins!  At the count, kids get to tear down the storefront gift wrap, revealing elaborately decorated holiday displays.

Downtown merchants host a special day to give & get back.   When you visit the businesses of downtown Milford on the day after Thanksgiving, you will still find amzaing gifts, special sales, and delicious meals.  But, this year comes with a feel-good twist.  Many merchants throughout Milford will be giving a percentage of their proceeds on Give Back Friday to a local charity. We will be donating a back of treats for every bag sold to The Community Sharing Pet Pantry

Santa Claus is coming to town during Milford’s annual Christmas Open House. A community favorite, the seasonal event brings strolling entertainment, horse-drawn carriage rides, holiday caroling, special promotions and deals at downtown stores and restaurants as well as a highly anticipated visit with Santa Claus in Village Center Mall.  The evening begins at 6:00 p.m. when the jolly old man arrives on Main Street aboard a Milford Fire Department fire engine.
