Downtown Denville Event
Denville Holiday Parade 2019
Celebrate the holidays through books, stories and art. The Denville Holiday Parade will feature great floats, bands, costumed characters and, most importantly, Santa’s official arrival in Denville via firetruck. Our parade marshalls are Bob and Donna Ott and we can’t wait to see you in Downtown Denville.
Denville’s Small Business Saturday
Support your local Downtown Denville shops by making the commitment to shop small and shop local. Each year our local shops are asked by hundreds of our local organizations (sports teams, school fundraisers, etc..) to donate a gift or sponsor an event. All the while they are struggling with an ever changing retail environment where most of us shop by pressing a button on our phone. Make the commitment to come out and shop in person to support the great experience your local downtown has to offer.
Holiday Carolers in Downtown Denville
