Santa encourages you to celebrate the holidays safely this year while still supporting your local Roxborough businesses | Studio Luminoso

With the safety of our community a top priority, the Roxborough Development Corporation invites you to get in the holiday spirit by enjoying the lights, greens, and special places along Ridge Avenue.

Order your favorite takeout, pick up a special gift, and take a stroll through our wonderful Roxborough Pocket Park, which will be lit up for the season on Friday, November 27th. Our 14-foot-high holiday tree, trio of carolers in lights, and colorful murals all offer unique, only-in-Roxborough spots for a holiday selfie or family photo.

The Roxborough Development Corporation will also be celebrating Ridge Avenue’s small businesses in a Happy Holidays from Roxborough video series, beginning next week, which will feature one small business every week leading up to Christmas.
