Ho Ho Ho in NewBo

Overview

Ho Ho Ho in NewBo is back for its sixth year as Cedar Rapids’ premier shopping and dining destination celebrates the holiday season.

Most neighborhood shops will be open until 8pm on Thursday, December 11, offering sips, nibbles, or a special promotion, or two. Check with each participating business for their plans that evening. And consider making it a night by dining at one of the outstanding food establishments on Third Street or inside NewBo City Market.

Once again, the Washington High School Madrigals will stroll through the neighborhood singing carols and Goldfinch Cyclery and Roasters Coffeehouse will team up to offer free hot chocolate as they peddle their way through New Bohemia on lighted bicycles.

Those interested can play Whiteout Blizzard BINGO for sweet prize packages by picking up a playing card at any participating business, ask to have their card “stamped” before leaving each shop, and turn their completed card in at the bookstore by 8pm. The drawing will be held shortly thereafter and the winners contacted on Friday.
