Valentine’s Day Contests in Westfield

February 1, 2022 by Scott Gleason

Valentine’s Day is just a couple of weeks away. Downtown Westfield wants to share the love with you and your sweetie. There are two separate Valentine’s Day contests waiting for your entry. One provides gift cards to local restaurants and shops. The other helps you tackle your New Year’s resolution of better health with a new Peloton bike. Both sound like great prizes to me.

Valentine’s Day Contests in Westfield

Downtown Westfield Gift Cards

Click here for an instant "No Strings Attached" valuation of your home.This contest is so easy to enter. Simply visit Downtown Westfield’s Facebook post about the contest here. Then, “like” the post. Finally, leave a comment where you tag your Valentine and tag the downtown Westfield restaurant or boutique you would like to take them to on Valentine’s Day. Organizers plan on choosing two winners at random from all of the comments received. One winner receives a $150 gift card to the local restaurant they chose in their comment. The other receives a $100 gift card to the local business (retail or service-related) tagged in their comment. 

Peloton Bike Raffle

The second one of the Valentine’s Day contests going on in Westfield involves the College Women’s Club of Westfield. To raise money for their scholarship fund, they are raffling off tickets to win a brand new Peloton bike AND an all-access membership to Peloton classes for one full year. Tickets cost $75 each. They limited the amount available to just 300. You may purchase more than one ticket if you would like. Just make sure you do so before the 11 am deadline on February 14th. One winner will be picked at 1 pm on Valentine’s Day. Visit the College Women’s Club website here to purchase your ticket(s) today.

Downtown Westfield Sidewalk Sale 2021

July 9, 2021 by Scott Gleason

Many of our annual events went “virtual” last year. Girl’s Night Out, clothing drives, and even beloved holiday events like Santa Claus Lane included severe restrictions to allow them to take place. Fortunately, we see life returning somewhat back to normal thanks to the percentage of people receiving their COVID-19 vaccinations. Our local small businesses bared the brunt of economic hardship last year. It is time to show them some love again. So, grab your checkbooks and head out to the Downtown Westfield Sidewalk Sale 2021 next week.

COVID may have postponed last year's shopping extravaganza, but not this year. The Downtown Westfield Sidewalk Sale 2021 is in full effect with bargains galore at your favorite shops between July 15th and July 18th.

So, make sure that you hit up your favorite boutiques before July 18th ends or you miss out on these fantastic bargains until next year.

Sweet Sounds Downtown Music Festival Update

This year’s Sweet Sounds Downtown Music Festival got off to a bit of a rocky start. This past Tuesday was supposed to start the festival off with great live music around the downtown area. But Mother Nature made other plans. After a postponement to Wednesday due to thunderstorms, officials canceled it altogether for the week as Westfield remained on thunderstorm watch. But, barring any more push back from Mother Nature, the festival continues next Tuesday, July 13th. So, do not despair. Make Downtown Westfield your destination for a weeknight date night any Tuesday this July and August.

He keeps watch over shoppers in nearly two dozen local boutiques and restaurants in the downtown area. When you see him, snap an Elfie Selfie.

Westfield Elfie Selfie Contest 2019

December 6, 2019 by Scott Gleason

We now have less than three weeks until Christmas Day. With a late Thanksgiving, the time to shop before Christmas feels much shorter than normal. Forget online shopping. Avoid long lines at the big box stores. Instead, support our local businesses by shopping at any of our downtown Westfield stores. To encourage the idea of keeping things local, the Downtown Westfield Corporation created a Westfield Elfie Selfie Contest. Take a pic. Win a prize.

Shop local businesses for your holiday needs this month and take part in the Westfield Elfie Selfie Contest 2019. Watch for Elf on a Shelf, grab your receipt, take a photo of you, him and your receipt for your chance at a great weekly prize.

Westfield Tree Lighting and More Holiday Fun

November 22, 2019 by Scott Gleason

Thanksgiving’s less than a week away. After you fill up on turkey and all the trimmings, how do you plan on spending the rest of your time? Fill your weekend with holiday cheer by shopping, decorating a gingerbread house, taking a photo with Santa and the Mrs., and watching the official Westfield tree lighting ceremony. That should get you in the Christmas spirit.

What are you doing Thanksgiving weekend? Watching the Westfield tree lighting? Entering the gingerbread house contest? Shopping? Visiting with Santa? There's a lot of holiday fun in Westfield as we countdown to Christmas.

Westfield Tree Lighting & More Holiday Fun

Gingerbread House Decorating Contest

Search Westfield luxury homes for saleFirst off, let’s talk gingerbread. It seems that everybody loved last year’s inaugural contest. So, organizers brought it back for this year. Savory Spice hosts 2019’s Gingerbread House Decorating Contest. If you saw last year’s entries, then you know that this contest accepts more than just gingerbread houses. Last year’s winners included recreations of the Watcher House, the Train Station, St Nick Church, and local businesses.

If you, your family, your company or an organization you belong to wish to submit an entry into the contest, register online before November 28, 2019. Drop off your submissions between November 28th and December 5th for public display. Find out who the winners are on New Year’s Day.

Santa Snapshots

Santa and Mrs. Claus fly in from the North Pole to help Westfield locals kick-off the Christmas festivities. They visit Lord + Taylor on the Friday (1 pm to 6 pm), Saturday (1 pm to 6 pm), and Sunday (12 pm to 4 pm) following Thanksgiving. For your $5 donation to the Westfield Food Pantry, you receive a professional 5″ x 7″ photo with Santa. Purchase more prints online from Paul Mecca Photography.

Support Local Businesses

Black Friday hits downtown Westfield on November 29th. Alleviate at least one stressful part of the day with free parking at meters and in the public garages all day long. But, if you really want to support our local businesses and avoid the maddening crowds, come to downtown Westfield on the 30th for Small Business Saturday. Carolers stroll the streets. Our businesses offer holiday deals. And parking’s free all day as well.

Westfield Tree Lighting

Finally, on Sunday, December 1st, enjoy an afternoon of winter wonder at the North Ave Train Station. Festivities begin at 4 pm with hot cider, cookie decorating, live music, and more holiday fun. Then, at 5:30 pm, Santa and Mrs. Claus join Mayor Brindle with the official lighting of the Christmas tree.

Not sure how to keep your guests entertained after Thanksgiving? Don’t worry. There will be plenty of things to do to fill up the rest of your holiday weekend in Westfield.
