Announcing the Launch of the 2025 Downtown Ann Arbor Holiday Gift Guide
Ann Arbor, MI – The holiday season is here, and with it comes the return of a favorite local tradition: the Main Street Ann Arbor Holiday Gift Guide! Launching Monday, November 24, the 2025 guide highlights gifts, experiences, and seasonal offerings from 44 participating downtown businesses—all of which have shared special holiday promotions now available on our website.
This year, we’re excited to offer the Holiday Gift Guide in both digital and printed formats. Printed copies are available at all participating locations listed online, giving visitors and residents an easy way to explore local gift ideas while strolling downtown.
From handcrafted goods and specialty items to festive dining and one-of-a-kind experiences, the Holiday Gift Guide features something for everyone on your list. By choosing to shop local, residents and visitors help strengthen our small business community and support the vibrant downtown district that makes Ann Arbor special.
