11/16: One Enchanted Evening will take place on Thursday, November 16th from 5pm to 8pm. It is one of the most popular events in Old Town. One Enchanted Evening is an old-fashioned holiday open house, an evening where participating businesses are decorated and open at night for their customers!

11/23: Clovis Senior Activity Center is holding their Thanksgiving Luncheon on Thursday, November 23rd at 11:30am at their brand new location. The doors open at 11am and it’ll last until the food runs out. It’s a free event, and volunteers are needed. 

11/25: Small Business Saturday takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday, November 25th. It’s a day to support small businesses all over Clovis instead of strictly shopping at big corporate chain stores. The perfect way to directly support your own community during the holidays. 

11/25-26: The Horse Drawn Carriage Rides begin on the weekend of November 25th-26th, and will continue every Saturday & Sunday through December from 1pm to 4pm.

The exceptions will be on December 2nd, 9th, and 16th where the Horse Drawn Carriage Rides will take place from 5pm to 8pm. Carriage pick up & drop off will be located on Pollasky between Fourth & Fifth Street.
