Best Bets: Very Cherry Holiday

A cornerstone building in the NewBo District is opening its doors wide Saturday, so visitors can shop and browse its artisan shops, businesses, art studios and more. Santa will be there, as well as musicians filling the air with sounds of harmony, not a song sung blue. The open house and studio tour also includes holiday activities, art exhibits and sales, a book sale, refreshments and gallery medium sessions at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Illuminations. The celebration is part of the NewBo/Czech Village Deck the District festivities stretching from Friday (11/30) to Sunday (12/2).
