The Davis Area Resident/Business Initiative (DARBI) (
YourDavisSquare.com) announces its
11th annual December Midnight Madness shopping event, offering exclusive sales until midnight at a collection of Davis Square retail shops, on Thursday, December 4, 2014. Between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight, shoppers will be able to shop at such Davis Square favorites as The Boston Shaker, Comicazi, Davis Squared, Evie Salon Studio, Found, Magpie, Nave Gallery Annex, Spoke Wine Bar, Sunshine Lucy’s, What’s Nü, and When Pigs Fly.
Many retailers will offer live music, hors d'oeuvres, and drinks to keep the atmosphere lively, and several will collect or sell items to benefit the Somerville Homeless Coalition (SHC). Spoke Wine Bar will offer a custom drink that night, the Curtatone Cocktail, in honor of Mayor Joe Curtatone, and $1 will be donated to the SHC for each drink sold. The Nave Gallery Annex will set up a tent in Statue Park (across from the Somerville Theatre) to host its annual Wrap Around Sale of hand-knit and crocheted hats and scarves, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Somerville Homeless Coalition.
To kick off the evening, adults and kids are invited to meet at 6 PM at 128 Willow Ave. by the bike path (office of Thalia Tringo & Assoc. Real Estate). There, they can drop off a donation of canned goods or warm hats/coats/scarves/gloves for SHC and receive a free snowflake luminaria bag and LED light, which they will hold as they go carolling down the bike path, ending at the Nave Gallery Annex tent in Statue Park.
