JACKSON, Wyo. — The holiday season is here, and the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to embrace the magic of the season while supporting Jackson’s vibrant local businesses. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Bank of Jackson Hole, Shop Local Holiday Weekends are back to bring festive cheer to the Town Square every Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. until Christmas.
Enjoy the cozy warmth of free hot cocoa and cookies served by Chamber of Commerce staff for a stroll through the snow-dusted streets of Jackson. It’s the perfect way to take a break from shopping and learn more about the exciting Shop Local programs, including the much-anticipated Winter Windfall. This year, Winter Windfall will award five lucky shoppers $1,000 in gift certificates to participating local businesses—a great way to make holiday shopping even more rewarding!
Shopping local is more than a seasonal activity; it’s a meaningful way to support the backbone of the community. Fun fact: 74% of Jackson Hole’s workforce is employed by small businesses. Every purchase made helps sustain local jobs and strengthens the economy, ensuring local friends, family and neighbors can continue to thrive.
