Community Celebrates Local Businesses at “Shop the Halls” Holiday Market
November 20, 2025
Community members joined The Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama on Wednesday, Nov. 19, for the first Celebrate Local: Shop the Halls event at the Bryant Conference Center.
Presented by Visit Tuscaloosa and Premier Service Company, the festive, family-friendly market brought together a wide range of local boutiques, artisans, restaurants, and service providers. Shoppers browsed holiday gifts, décor, handmade items, and seasonal treats at this event designed to kick off the holiday season and spotlight West Alabama’s small businesses.
The final portion of the event served as The Chamber’s monthly Business After Hours, creating a lively “Sip ’n Shop” experience where attendees enjoyed beverages, conversation, and holiday spirit while supporting local vendors.
“This event was a wonderful opportunity for businesses and community members to connect, discover new favorites, and share in the excitement of the upcoming holiday season,” said Alicia Gregory, senior director of programs and operations for The Chamber.
The Chamber extends its gratitude to all exhibitors, sponsors, and community partners who helped make this year’s event a success.
