Whitby, ON –

The Downtown Whitby Business Improvement Area is pleased to announce that Shop Late, Shop Local will be held Friday, November 17th, 2017 between 6pm and 10pm. Shop Late, Shop Local provides visitors to the Downtown with a night out on the town in the historic heart of Whitby.

‘We’re hoping to kickoff the holiday shopping season for our charming downtown with Shop Late, Shop Local.” said BIA Events Committee Chair Jamie Letros. “There’s something special about mid-November. We’re starting to get into that holiday spirit but aren’t totally at rest yet. Shop Late, Shop Local is a nice night out to recharge, take in some beautiful historic buildings and get some shopping done before the rush starts.”

The Downtown Whitby BIA will be helping guide this year’s organization of the event.
