On Saturday November 26th it's Port Holiday Magic! Stop by our booth from 12-noon to 4pm . We will be on Main Street across from the train station.
We will collect food, baby formula, diapers and toiletries. We will also tell people about Can You Help Too and we will encourage them to join our commUNITY project (click here).
The Magic Returns To Main Street & Beyond (co-hosted by Residents Forward with the PW BID, the PW Chamber of Commerce, and Landmark on Main Street.)Don’t miss the magic when Port Washington comes alive with entertainment, special offers, free trolley, and a whole lot of MAGIC!
Performances begin at 12pm.
Santa rides a fire truck then greets families at the train station on Main Street; musical march on Main Street; DJ, old fashioned sleigh, costumed characters, booths at the train station; free trolley for shoppers; strolling carolers; entertainment at several locations and more.
Nov. 26 marks the 12th annual Small Business Saturday – a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve our neighborhoods. Everyone benefits when we remember “BEFORE YOU CLICK AND BUY, GIVE PORT A TRY.”
To make this day extra festive and to kick off the holiday shopping season in a big way, the Greater Port Washington BID, the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce, Residents Forward and Landmark on Main Street is celebrating with our own Port Holiday Magic! Starting at noon, kids of all ages can see Santa ride past on a firetruck. He will travel along Port Washington Boulevard, Main Street, Shore Road and Manorhaven Boulevard.
Stores throughout town will have special holiday offers for shoppers. Some offers will be for the entire holiday season and some stores will arrange for delivery or pickup. For the latest updates on participating stores’ holiday specials, visit the Events section on the Try Port First mobile app or pwcoc.org.
Shoppers will enjoy live and recorded musical entertainment outside as they stroll from store to store. Entertainers will be at the train station, at Ayhan’s Corner and at other locations on Main Street. There will be several holiday-themed backgrounds for your perfect holiday selfies, including an old-fashioned sleigh, an inflatable snowman and an inflatable tree.
Port Washington’s shopping districts will look especially festive for the celebration. The BID will install lighted snowflakes on the utility poles and the Chamber will adorn the Main Street lampposts with garland, lights and red bows. Stores throughout town will go all out to win the Port Holiday Magic Window Decorating Contest. To support both the businesses and shoppers, the Town of North Hempstead is suspending all on-street parking meter fees from Port Holiday Magic on Small Business Saturday to January 1, 2022. The Port Washington Police District will provide extra safety for shoppers at the major crossings.
The event raises awareness of the vital role small businesses play in our community and our economy. This year more than ever, shopping locally for the holidays is safe, convenient and easy. You are supporting your local merchants, who not only appreciate your business but also pay a large share of property taxes and help maintain the economic stability of our community. They also offer special customer services that the online merchants and big box stores don’t offer and they support requests for donations for our community organizations like the schools, scouts, religious and civic institutions and others.
Importantly, online shoppers may not realize that for every $100 you spend in your local small businesses, $68 stays in our community through jobs, taxes, contributions to non-profits and more. For every $100 you spend online, $0 stays in our community.
Help strengthen our community by supporting local businesses that support our town. Shop Local on Nov. 26 and throughout the holiday season. Be sure to look for the gold and red bow on the doors of participating businesses and show them your support. All the store specials are available rain, snow or shine!

You experience unconditional love, and the unending battle for a better night’s sleep. You join the ranks of parenthood, yet may feel lonely and confused. As infants mature to toddlerhood, you look for new ways to bond with them and support their growth.The PRC story began with a simple belief: you don’t have to do it alone.Celebrating more than 4 decades in Port Washington, The Parent Resource Center (“PRC”) has been an integral part of the community, bringing together families with young children to play, learn, grow, and make life-long friendships. We are the place where children and their caregivers make their first connections.Founded by Lynne Patterson in 1980, the PRC was originally housed in one room of the old Flower Hill School on Campus Drive. Today, the PRC has grown to over 400 members and provides parenting workshops, social events, recreational outings, summer enrichment programs, and a myriad of developmental classes geared toward infants and toddlers. Since the beginning, a core commitment of the PRC has been supporting economically disadvantaged families. Our Outreach program helps many local families gain access to early childhood educational opportunities through our “Stepping Stones” preschool readiness classes, ESL classes, summer enrichment program and scholarships to PRC programs.With professionally-led classes and a loving staff, The Parent Resource Center of Port Washington has become one of the premiere early childhood learning centers in our region.

The Community Dinners are finally back in person last night! It was so nice to work in the kitchen and to meet new families. Even though we did not have as many families as we used to, it was still a huge success. The strong message going back to the community we try to support is that WE ARE BACK! We were able to provide a safe welcoming and inclusive fun time for all. Let the word spread that those who could not join us missed a special event and that they should join next time!
I want to take the time to thank the Community Dinners sponsors - Comfort Diner and Grace's Table for their generous food donation. Comfort Diner makes the best Mac & Cheese and Lemon Chicken ...sorry mom....
