From Alberta Main Street:
What is tannenbaum madness?
Tannenbaum Madness is an event, inviting families and art lovers to bundle up and take a stroll up Alberta Street this holiday season. Businesses up and down NE Alberta Street create a walking tour of whimsical, artistic, and unique holiday trees on display it in their front windows.
Opening night is Friday, November 25th, 4 – 8 PM. The street will be hopping with festive lights, gallery openings, plenty of restaurants serving some of the best food in town, and a little of the usual madness. Take a tour of this community celebration.
Additionally, many retail locations on Alberta Street will be open late on Fridays in December for Shop Local Shop Late so be sure to support our local independent retailers this holiday season!
Tannenbaum Madness will run through Sunday, January 1st, 2012.
