  Deck the Halls with Local Shopping Joy!

  The holiday season is nearly here, and the Brevard/Transylvania Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to announce the return of the annual Shop Local Holiday Giveaway, a celebration of our vibrant local business community. 

  FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27 THROUGH

  FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2026

  Reserve your sponsorship spot by November 19.

  2026 Holiday Giveaway Sponsor Info

  Beginning Friday, November 27, shoppers will have two ways to win prizes totaling $1,250 when they "shop local" with participating businesses in Transylvania County:

  Shop Local Passport

  Anyone wishing to participate can get a passport card from our weekly Transylvania Times program ads or by picking one up at the Visitor Center. Shoppers will receive a stamp on their passport with each purchase they make at participating businesses (limit one stamp per person per day at each business location, each purchase must be a minimum of $5). Shoppers must return their completed passport (five stamps) to the Visitor Center by noon on December 18th to be entered to win one of two drawings for $250 in Transylvania Bucks.

  Holiday Stocking Hunt

  In addition, shoppers can look for a special holiday stocking at 15 participating business locations from November 27th through December 18th that have been randomly selected. No purchase is necessary to participate in the Holiday Stocking Hunt. Shoppers who find one of the holiday stockings will be encouraged to take a "selfie" at the business location for sharing on social media, and they must return the stocking to the Visitor Center to receive their prize of $50 in Transylvania Bucks. Limit one stocking per person.

  What are Transylvania Bucks?

  Transylvania Bucks spend like cash, but can only be used with this year's participating Shop Local Holiday Giveaway businesses prior to December 31st.

  Since 1947, Kilwins has been a celebrated part of Americana having earned a reputation for providing high-quality Chocolates, Ice Cream, and confections combined with excellent service. Their heritage was built on the simple premise of creating products from the finest ingredients and providing customers with great service.
  
  John Mathieu and his family moved to Brevard in 2023 to take over Kilwins after spending eight years in Chicago singing and teaching music. John has a passion for customer service as well as food preparation and has found the Kilwins hand-made recipes an exciting challenge in this business venture. He strives to uphold the Kilwins' motto "Sweet in every sense, since 1947".
