Event Description
More than 25 local businesses have decorated downtown Charleston storefronts for the Charleston Area Alliance's inaugural Holiday Window Decorating Contest, sponsored by WCHS-TV and Tony the Tailor. 

With twinkling lights, gigantic candy canes and colorful trees – the holiday window display competition aims to draw the masses to come downtown and shop small during the holiday season.

Starting on Small Business Saturday Nov. 25 and continuing through Dec. 17, you can vote on your favorite dressed up downtown window. The People's Choice winner will receive an advertising package on WCHS-TV.

Participating businesses are comprised of downtown businesses with physical storefronts as well as local companies who have partnered with existing downtown businesses or leasing agents to create a window vignettes in vacant storefronts. Many participants have also teamed up with artists, schools, churches and nonprofits to create a one-of-a-kind display.
