Small Business Saturday
The Bascom joins downtown Highlands for the Small Business Saturday Holiday Stroll, an afternoon of seasonal happenings hosted by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce. Make the Holiday Market one of your stops and shop handcrafted gifts from regional artists, the kind of pieces you won’t find on a big-box shelf. Every purchase supports the artists who made the work and The Bascom’s year-round programming.
Bring the kids along: Macon Faces will be at The Bascom from 1–3 p.m. with free face painting while the grown-ups browse. From here, the rest of the Stroll is a short walk away, with a Cookie Crawl through downtown shops, live music and an ice carving at Town Square, and story time at Hudson Library.
The Holiday Market runs through December 26. Admission is free.
