Decatur is brightening things up as days get shorter and temps get colder! Cultures around the world hold festivals celebrating light during the winter months, and Decatur has joined in by adding sparkle to our seasonal streetscape. Days got darker starting Nov. 4; Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, kicked off on Nov. 7; and Decatur began brightening up over the weekend. You can “bah humbug” if you have to, but deep down you know that bright lights look lovely all winter! – And they shine on shops, restaurants, and local businesses during dark months. Win, win.
Go ahead and get in the spirit! – Decatur already has with Terrific Thursdays, which started Nov. 1 and continue to bring sales, special events, and good cheer through November and December. Mark your calendars for Small Business Saturday and Santa on the Square on Nov. 24, too!
