The 23rd annual Ladies Night Out is set for Thursday, November 14, 2019 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Downtown Marquette. Ladies Night Out provides women with the perfect opportunity to spend an evening out on the town shopping and dining with their friends.
Businesses located within the downtown district are encouraged to offer specials, entertainment, refreshments, prize drawings and other enticing activities as part of the annual Ladies Night Out event. There is no cost to participate in Ladies Night Out, but each participating business is asked to contribute one item to the gift baskets in the form of merchandise or a gift certificate. Shoppers will register for coveted gift baskets valued between $600-800 at each business by getting a passport stamped. Passports are used as a way to track overall participation at Ladies Night Out. Gift basket items will be collected on Monday, November 4. It takes several hours to get to all of the participants and businesses are asked to have their item ready at the cashier to avoid having to make multiple trips. Items may also be dropped of at our office by Thursday, October 31.
In an effort to streamline the distribution of passports, several convenient pick-up locations will be spread throughout the downtown district and an advance pick-up option will be offered through the Downtown Development Authority office as early as Monday, November 11. Each pick-up location will have passports available for a $2.00 donation. Proceeds will benefit the Marquette Women's Center. Ladies are encouraged to purchase a passport at one of the passport pickup locations before commencing their evening festivities.
The deadline to register is Wednesday, October 23. Click here to register your downtown business online or download the registration form here and submit the completed application to the Marquette DDA, 337 W. Washington St., Marquette, MI 49855 or fax to (906) 228-6288. |
