Downtown Chandler Invites Arizona to Enjoy Holiday Magic: Shop Local, Sip Festive, and Celebrate All Season Long

DCCP unveils holiday festivities in November with Prancer’s Pajama Party on Small Business Saturday.  

CHANDLER, Ariz. (November 2025) — The Downtown Chandler Community Partnership (DCCP) invites the Valley to experience Downtown Chandler Holiday Magic, a festive lineup of community-centric, family-friendly events on Small Business Saturday. Festivities crescendo through December with the spirited Sippin’ Santas Pub Crawl and decor that remains up for the holiday season. From live music and local shopping to reindeer games in pajamas and seasonal sips for grown-ups, Holiday Magic transforms the heart of Chandler into a can’t-miss destination.

“Holiday Magic is our way to show off what Chandler is made of. It’s a festive backdrop for visitors to gather, explore, and support the 75 local businesses that make Downtown Chandler special,” said Jess Walrath, Downtown Chandler Community Partnership Interim Director. “From our daytime Farmers Market and our night market on Third Thursdays, to cozy pajama parties in the park and a holly-jolly pub crawl, there’s something here for every neighbor, family, and visiting tourist.”
