Since the start of Bring A Friend, many shoppers arrive decked out for the holidays, wearing matching sweatshirts, hats and more. Shoppers are encouraged to dress up and join the Bring A Friend Parade. Everyone that participates receives a ticket to pick up a complimentary gift at the conclusion of the parade. There will be a "Cheer Off" for the person with the "Most Christmas-y Costume." The winner receives a $100 Settlers Green Gift Card. This year's parade will begin at a new time - 11 a.m. - at Banana Republic.

Shoppers that plan to come a different day or time other than The Flagship Day still have the opportunity to receive a Bring A Friend Bag. Shoppers can purchase a Pick Up Pass for $10 in advance of the event to pick up the bag on any of the 10 days of Bring A Friend. We will donate $1 of every Pick Up Pass sold to a local charity. The Pick Up Pass goes on sale on Wednesday, October 1 at 10 a.m., while supplies last.
