Unwrap Elmwoodby Lauren N. Maynard |

As if we didn’t need more urging to go out and enjoy the season, Elmwood Avenue retailers are putting out their holiday best with “Unwrap Elmwood,” a month-long celebration along the fun and funky Buffalo strip. This Friday, a tree-lighting ceremony kicks off the series at the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, followed by caroling led by Nardin singers and hot chocolate for all. New this year are holiday treats provided by Elmwood restaurants. You’ll find fantastic and one-of-a-kind gift ideas from artists and artisans, too, as galleries take part in the annual “Artists in Buffalo” all weekend long (see “Artshorts” in this issue for details). Each Friday evening in December, horse-drawn carriage rides depart from Bidwell Parkway from 7pm to 9pm. On Saturday, make gingerbread houses at the Homespace fundraiser at the Unitarian Universalist Church (10am-1:30pm). Also watch for upcoming wine tastings, outdoor music and appearances by Santa and our favorite caroling state assemblyman, Sam Hoyt. Several events require pre-registration or a small fee; for more information, head to www.foreverelmwood.com.
Friday, December 2 - Sunday, December 4. Shops open until 10pm Fridays; call individual stores for additional holiday hours. Elmwood Avenue, Buffalo. Free (except where noted).
