Downtown Foley is getting into the holiday spirit with a mix of football-themed festivities, seasonal shopping, dining opportunities and interactive activities planned throughout November and December.

Foley Main Street is inviting residents and visitors to explore the historic downtown district with a full calendar of events, including its popular Third Thursday celebrations, the annual Downtown Foley Turkey Hunt and a holiday-themed food and drink trail.

The festivities kick off Nov. 19 with the November Third Thursday celebration, themed “Tinsel and Tailgates.” The event combines football season with early holiday cheer, encouraging attendees to wear their favorite game-day colors and add a little seasonal sparkle for an evening downtown.

Visitors can start the evening at FEAST, where the Foley Main Street team will hand out orange glow necklaces to help light the way as guests explore downtown sidewalks, shops and restaurants.

Across the street, South Baldwin Social will celebrate its second anniversary, giving visitors another reason to stop in during the festivities. Live music throughout the historic district will add to the atmosphere as guests browse local boutiques and enjoy dinner at downtown restaurants.

The holiday fun also includes the Sixth Annual Downtown Foley Turkey Hunt, a community tradition that runs through Thanksgiving. Participants can search for hidden turkeys tucked into photos of participating downtown businesses posted on Facebook and Instagram. Entries are accepted daily, with opportunities to win a share of $1,500 in gift cards donated by local merchants. The prizes are intended to help winners get a head start on their holiday shopping.

Those looking to make the most of their downtown visits can also participate in the Downtown Foley Passport program. Guests can earn passport points by visiting participating Third Thursday businesses and checking in at locations along the Merry and Bright Food and Drink Trail.

Running Nov. 1 through Jan. 2, 2027, the trail encourages visitors to explore downtown dining establishments, sample seasonal menu offerings and support locally owned businesses. Participants can earn 25 passport points at every downtown stop.

The celebrations continue in December with the Third Thursday event themed “Merry and Bright Downtown.” The event is listed for Dec. 17 and will bring another opportunity to enjoy live music, holiday shopping and seasonal activities in the historic district.

From football-themed fun and local dining to holiday scavenger hunts and opportunities to support downtown businesses, Foley Main Street's seasonal lineup offers plenty of ways to celebrate the holidays while exploring the community.
