Back for its second year, with an even longer list of participating businesses - 60 in total and five new sponsors - Hop & Shop Beacon is set for two nights of extended shopping and special deals on Main Street in Beacon on Thursday, December 12, and Friday, December 13. The following Saturday will be Beacon’s Second Saturday, so anticipate a long weekend of (even more) live action on Main Street.

“Last year after Hop & Shop had wrapped, we received a number of emails and messages from customers who said they had the best time and how they hoped we would do it again,” the event’s co-organizer, Erin Murphy Doan, owner of Reservoir, told A Little Beacon Blog. “Another wonderful result that has come from this event is the relationships built between the business owners,” she continued. “Main Street feels very unified, and we’re all here to help each other!”

The Origins of Hop & Shop

Created in 2018 out of the collective desire for more reasons for Beacon businesses to work together, Hop & Shop Beacon’s mission is to lengthen the shopping day for commuters and people who just like walking around Beacon at night. Said the other co-organizer, Lauren Decker of King + Curated: “We wanted to find a way to unify all Beacon businesses with each other and the community. It’s a great way to celebrate our locals (who also can be commuters) of Beacon by staying open late. Usually they never get the chance to shop local, with some shops closing at 6 pm. Weekends are sometimes spent enjoying hiking and outdoor activities in the Hudson Valley.”

This year, over 60 businesses will stay open until 9 pm, and five sponsors came on board to support the event: Hudson Land Design, SallyeAnder, A Little Beacon Blog (hey, that’s us!), More Good, and Tipsy Social.

Hop & Shop has grown as anticipated as Black Friday itself. Which is great news for you - more deals! More access to unique things! Shops like Luxe Optique have crafted deals that work for both Black Friday and Hop & Shop. Which is great for this blogger, who is out of town for Black Friday, but in town for Hop & Shop!

How Hop & Shop Works

You step outside onto Main Street and side streets, and you gaze into the warmly lit shop windows filled with goodies, creations, inventions, and other things you didn’t realize were so close to you here in Beacon.

Enjoy food and drink specials, art openings, sales, etc., all up and down our over mile-long Main Street! Wear your cutest, coziest winter outfits and accessories, because you will want to walk the entire length of Main Street. Drink hot chocolate at one coffee shop, and a latte at another coffee shop at the other end of town. With maybe a cupcake or marshmallow in-between!

Recommended: Get cozy with Hop & Shop’s Instagram. It features participating businesses, which include services such as yoga, as well as shops and eateries. Like the beef jerky shop, The Village Jerk, located inside The Chocolate Studio on the far end of Main Street near the mountain.
INSIDER TIP: The Chocolate Studio has delicious chocolate-covered lots-of-things, but also sells dairy and vegan ice cream.

Raffle tickets for prizes are available, given per receipt, from participating businesses only. The idea is, the more you shop, the better your chances of winning. This year, raffle categories include:

Eat + Drink Local
Shop Local
LifeStyle Local (*new!)

Mark your calendars!

PS: If you have kids and need them to not be with you while shopping on Black Friday, local business The Crafty Hammer is having a Black Friday Drop-Off Makers Session, so check that out and get scheduled up. The Crafty Hammer is a sponsor of A Little Beacon Blog, and we thank them for their support!
