You’ll be able to shop special deals, see holiday decorations, have the chance to win prizes, enjoy shopping, dining, snacking and family fun this Saturday in Downtown Santa Paula. 

Discover Downtown Santa Paula will welcome visitors to the East Main Street and surrounding areas where 20 merchants have made special plans for holiday shoppers and looky-loos alike, from visiting with Santa and trying to win an array of prizes to enjoying holiday themed entertainment, discounts and special offers.

There’s so much to discover in Downtown Santa Paula that a walking map has been created just for the event’s 20 special stops said Talia Wunder, who helped organize the event.

“We’ve gotten a great response from the merchants, most of Main Street,” whose businesses are located in one of the most historically significant areas of the county.

Wunder is looking forward to the social aspect of the event, visiting friends and greeting new visitors all sharing a day Downtown where merchants have dressed their front windows in their holiday finest and inside are offering specials of all kinds.

Said Wunder, “People don’t realize all that is offered in our Downtown,” and the uniqueness of the businesses where, “even half of Miky’s Cellular is devoted to antiques. 

“My recommendation is if you haven’t been Downtown in a while come check it out.... there’s more than you’d ever imagine! Between the Super Store for wrapping, boots, coats, gifts, restaurants, salons and spas, you name it we have it in Downtown Santa Paula.”

Just follow the map for holiday adventure: Anderson Kulwiec Appleby Architects will help you make paper chains and snowflakes while at ARC of Santa Paula will offer a visit with Santa, free gift wrapping, raffle prizes and a boutique benefiting the annual Relay for Life event. 

Bee Loved Florist will help you create and decorate ornaments while offering great deals on poinsettias, SuzCreates Multi-Media Art Studio will bring out the art lover in everyone and Best of VC Marketplace has 10 percent off at their popup store and the California Oil Museum Gift Shop offers stocking stuffers. 

“What looks really, really cool is the Lego building up at Century 21 Hometown Realty,” said Wunder whose enthusiasm proved that the structure will appeal to adults as well as kids. Visitors will also have a chance to win a raffle for the display to be held at 4 p.m.

Chili Hut and Vince’s Coffee Shop will respectively offer discounts and free soft drinks with meal purchase to those with the Discover Downtown Walking Map. Mupu Grill will have Christmas Jingles by Barry to enjoy with German Hot Spiced Wine and Mulled Cider.

Fria will have ornament painting and hot holiday drinks to enjoy with that book you purchase at Go Getter Books. The second floor of the Odd Fellows Lodge & Clocktower has the massive Holiday Train Display (a fundraiser but the admission is a bargain!) and Rabalais will have special holiday coffee drinks and bakery items and live Christmas music from 1 to 3 p.m. 

Remnants on Mill has oodles of collectibles and antiques and the Santa Paula Art Museum a Gift Shop filled with fine items. The free popcorn offered by Dr. Lee at Santa Paula Ortho will have you smiling and the salsa samples from Santa Paula Salsa Company will have you taking advantage of their 20 discount to take some home. Susy’s Hair Design will have you looking your best with a $1 haircut discount by showing the walking map and Tisa’s Salon & Spa has a sparkling boutique. 

Bee-Loved Florist, Best of VC Marketplace, California Oil and Santa Paula Art museums, Fria, Remnants on Mill, Santa Paula Salsa Company and SuzCreates Art Studio are all participants in the merchants’ raffle.
