Ventura businesses invited to join Window Wonderland

 Spread holiday cheer and showcase your storefronts

Ventura, Calif. – The City of Ventura’s Economic Development team is inviting local businesses to participate in the 2025 Window Wonderland program. This festive initiative encourages storefronts throughout Ventura to celebrate the season with creative holiday window displays that brighten commercial corridors and inspire residents to shop locally.

 

Businesses are also invited to take part in this year’s photo submission opportunity. By sharing photos of their decorated storefronts, participants will be entered for a chance to win free advertising opportunities. Photos may be submitted now throughout December, and winners will be announced in January 2026.

 

“Ventura is filled with creativity, and our local businesses help set the tone for the season,” said Economic Development Manager Meredith Hart. “Window Wonderland is a fun way to showcase that spirit while encouraging residents and visitors to explore and support our shopping districts.”

 

Participating storefronts will be featured on the City’s website and social media channels to help promote holiday shopping and highlight local businesses. The community will also be invited to vote online for their favorite displays in categories such as Most Festive, Most Creative, and Best Use of Lights.

 

Businesses interested in joining Window Wonderland or submitting photos of their decorated windows can visit www.cityofventura.ca.gov/ShopLocal for details and entry information.
