Holiday Spirit Returns to Norton Commons with Three Festive Shopping Events
Independent shopping, dining, and services destination hosting three festive events with neighborhood traditions and holiday deals
PROSPECT, Ky. — Home to more than 130 businesses, most independently owned,
Norton Commons has become one of Kentucky’s most distinctive neighborhoods for
shopping and dining. The community will kick off the holiday season November 8 with
three signature events featuring deals, experiences, and neighborhood celebrations.
Fourteen new businesses have opened in Norton Commons this year, expanding its
strong mix of shops, eateries, and services throughout the North and South Village
Town Centers.
The celebration begins Saturday, Nov. 8 with the Holiday Preview, where shops
throughout the neighborhood will showcase early seasonal merchandise and festive
home décor. Shop Small Saturday follows on Nov. 29, featuring giveaways, pop-ups,
and refreshments from more than 30 locally owned businesses. The season culminates
with the Holiday Open House on Dec. 6, an all-day event filled with in-store specials,
complimentary beverages, and community festivities. Visitors can also enjoy a
cherished Toys for Tots tradition that evening: free carriage and sleigh rides (5–7 p.m.)
or a photo with Santa (4–6 p.m.) in exchange for a new, unwrapped toy donation.
In addition to the many shops in the North and South Village Town Centers, six unique
retailers will once again open for the season in the North Village Market cottages at
6301 Moonseed Street, offering an ever-changing mix of gifts, apparel, art, and home
goods from local entrepreneurs and artisans.
Among this year’s highlights is Crittenden, a men’s luxury clothier that opened its
permanent Norton Commons storefront this fall after a successful summer in the
cottages.
Norton Commons continues to grow as one of the region’s most distinctive destinations
for local shopping and dining. Its walkable town-center layout and mix of boutiques,
restaurants, and service providers make it an ideal place to find gifts, enjoy a meal, and
take part in holiday traditions.
