It’s getting cold out, but the holiday season in Webster is heating up, with a cool NEW event and some great improvements on an old favorite.
For starters, the village’s brand new “Hops and Stops” beer tasting event invites participants to not only enjoy some great craft brews, while also visiting many of our small businesses for some early Christmas shopping.
Hops and Stops will be Saturday Nov. 27 (not coincidentally Small Business Saturday). Glass pickup is at Finns Automotive, 44 East Main St, beginning at 2:45 p.m. Cost is $20 (tickets here). Please bring proper ID and you can’t pick up anyone else’s glass since they’ll also need to show an ID.
The beer walk itself runs from 3 to 6 p.m. There will be craft beer at some stops and food at others. These businesses will be participating:
- Bernardi & Co. CPA
- Webster Interiors
- Woodland Silkscreen and Embroidery
- OHHH, LORDEE! Everything Sauce
- Village Vape or Smoke
- The Modified Collective
- Carl’s Pizza Kitchen
- Crafty Christy’s Boutique
- Dunkin’ Donuts
- The Coach
- BC’s Chicken Coop
- The Cobblestone on Main
- Barry’s Old School Irish
- Lattimore Physical Therapy
- Filling Station Pub & Grill
Kudos to the Webster BID for coming up with this great idea to get people out and shopping on Small Business Saturday!

White Christmas is Back!
Last year’s “reverse” Holiday Parade of Lights was fun, but I think everyone is excited to know that the REAL Parade of Lights will be returning the evening of Saturday Dec. 4. The parade is the highlight of a whole afternoon of holiday entertainment and activities planned during the Village of Webster’s White Christmas celebration.
This year’s event will feature something really fun: the gazebo in Veterans Park will be transformed into the North Pole for the day, complete with twinkling lights, elves, candy canes and much more. Santa will be there to greet the kids from 3 to 5 p.m. Kids can bring their letters and give them right to Santa or deposit them in his North Pole mailbox.
The Parade of Lights will begin at 6:30 p.m., winding its way from Phillips Rd. west down Main Street.
All of your White Christmas favorites will also be back this year, including carriage rides, hot cocoa, cookie decorating, storytime with Jason Poole from the Webster Public Library, caroling, and much more, including a “Toy Land,” for which everyone is encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate.
Put this one on your calendar, folks. (Maybe we’ll actually get some snow this year.)
