The Month of Merry kicked off after Thanksgiving with American Express' Small Business Saturday campaign.

What is the Month of Merry? A holiday shopping experience throughout the City of Avondale Estates in December.

Participating businesses throughout the City of Avondale Estates offer a variety of specials, open houses, discounts and refreshments to holiday shoppers. There are so many new and old businesses throughout the City to explore all with easy access to the City's free public parking and specials for the holiday season. Many businesses are within walking distance of each other, so grab a bite to eat and a cup of coffee, and explore Avondale Estates. Follow the Month of Merry Facebook page to stay up to date with specials, events and offers.

Visit the City's Month of Merry website page for a list of participating businesses. If you are a local business and interested in participating please email City Planner and Community Development Officer Keri Stevens, kstevens@avondaleestates.org.
