Bring A Friend 25 brings shopping, entertainment and celebration, starting November 7

Settlers Green’s signature shopping celebration, Bring A Friend, is one of New England’s most anticipated annual shopping events. What began in 2001 as a one-day gathering has grown into a 10-day extravaganza filled with daily events, entertainment, giveaways and more. Join us November 7–16, for this unforgettable silver-themed 25^th anniversary experience.

The spirit of the original single day event remains the biggest draw. Set for Saturday, November 8, the Flagship Day includes extended store hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and a full schedule of entertainment, giveaways and special experiences throughout Settlers Green, with The Green near Timberland Factory Store serving as the hub of activity.

The famous Bring A Friend Bag Giveaway starts at 8 a.m. on The Green. There are 1000 bags stuffed with special offers, gifts and samples along with scratch and win tickets with prizes from Pandora, Merrell and Stonewall Kitchen. In celebration of 25 years, select bags will include silver tickets that carry values from $10-$1000. The ticket can be exchanged for a Settlers Green Gift Card. Entertainment includes Imari & The Sahara Dancers, DJ Kris10, DJ Corey Genest, Live Printing with Two Pines Creative, Oracle Card Readings with Anjali Rose, Photos With Santa and more. Everyone is encouraged to dress up in holiday garb and join the Bring A Friend Foot Parade starting at 11 a.m. near Banana Republic, led this year by Miss Mt. Washington Cheyenne Sheehan. Shoppers can win over $5000 worth of giveaways at the 25 Raffles for 25 Years, which requires a special free entry ticket only available on Saturday, November 8. Raffles will be called every 30 minutes, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on The Green.

“The Flagship Day is undoubtedly the biggest day of the event, and shoppers should expect Black Friday level busyness with a fun, celebratory atmosphere,” said Event Director Laura Lemieux. “But we have additional events this year on separate days to celebrate the landmark 25^th anniversary.”

On Friday, November 7, opening day of Bring A Friend starts with a Silver Ribbon Cutting and Ceremonial Cake Cutting with the Mt. Washington Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. Then at 4 p.m., there’s a Champagne Toast at Barley & Salt with complimentary stemless champagne glasses for the first 150 people.

On Tuesday, November 11, there will be a Family Day and Veterans Day Celebration with a 100-bag giveaway at aerie, a live caricaturist, spin-to-win giveaway and more, alongside the singing of the National Anthem at 11 a.m. at The Gazebo and Veterans Remembrance Walk, located near The Met.

On Saturday, November 15, Great Outdoors Day starts with 250 Backpack Giveaway at 10 a.m. at Cotopaxi, Doorbuster Event at Merrell and giveaways from Great Glen Trails, Eddie Bauer and more.
