Pelham, NY – November 13, 2023 – The Pelham Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the eagerly anticipated Winter Wonderland event on November 25th, 2023, with a rain date of November 26th, 2023. This exceptional event promises a day filled with family-friendly festivities, made possible through the invaluable support of our dedicated sponsors.

Our Blizzard Diamond Sponsor is The C&B Plumbing & Heating Inc. Thank you to Cindy and Bob Courtien. Our Snowstorm Sponsors include Meridian Risk Management,  Meridian Realty Consultants and Domenic DeNigris Monuments and Mausoleums. Thank you to the Solimine family and Domenic DeNigris. Our Frost Sponsors include Pelham Funeral Home, and J&S Mechanical Plumbing. Thank you to Clive Anderson and The Royce Family of Pelham. And last but not least, our Snowflake Sponsors include SCS Contracting Services and SSB Industries.

Our Chamber is wholeheartedly committed to ensuring that Winter Wonderland 2023 surpasses all previous editions in excellence. As we embark on our third annual celebration, we extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible sponsors for their unwavering contributions, transforming this day into a spectacular kickoff for local holiday shopping in Pelham.

This year’s Winter Wonderland is open to all, transcending communities and offering a day of free family-friendly entertainment. Beyond the joy and fun, it serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role our local businesses play in strengthening and preserving the tapestry of our community.

The presence of these beloved mom-and-pop shops enriches our community, giving it a unique character and fostering close-knit connections that define its essence. These local businesses are the lifeblood of our neighborhoods, contributing to a sense of identity and belonging that larger corporations simply cannot replicate.

“As we bask in the wonder of Winter Wonderland, I invite you to reflect on the profound importance of supporting local businesses during the holiday season, whether in Pelham or your own neighborhood. When you spend a dollar in town, an impressive 60% returns to support your local community. While the convenience of e-commerce is undeniable, it’s crucial to remember that it doesn’t reinvest in our community like our local businesses do.” – Cristina Chianese, president of Pelham Chamber of Commerce.

This extraordinary event is proudly hosted by the Pelham Chamber of Commerce, Town of Pelham, and Village of Pelham, in collaboration with our dedicated sponsors. Santa himself will make a special appearance at 3:30 at the Gazebo, followed by the Tree Lighting ceremony, filling the night with wonder and delight.

“As the former president of the Chamber and a local business owner born and raised in Pelham, I firmly believe that this event is of paramount importance to our community and our local businesses. I am proud to continue contributing to this meaningful cause and to support my fellow business owners, many of whom are not just colleagues but also neighbors and friends. Together, we can ensure the prosperity of our community and preserve the close-knit bonds that make Pelham such a special place.” – Joe Solimine, Jr.

Join us on November 25th, 2023, for a day of celebration, community spirit, and local support. In case of inclement weather, our rain date is set for November 26th, 2023.
