elf on the shelf adventure.

A magical scavenger hunt through Downtown Waxhaw. Saturday, Nov. 29.

Santa’s workshop has sent twenty Scout Elves on a merry mission through Downtown Waxhaw.

These playful elves will be hiding inside local shops and businesses, waiting for holiday adventurers to spot them.

Grab a Bingo Card, enjoy a festive stroll, and discover the charm of downtown along the way.

    1. Start by picking up an Elf on the Shelf Bingo Card at any participating business.

    2. Explore downtown and look high and low for the hidden elves at each stop.

    3. When you find one, ask the business to stamp your card.

    4. Turn in a fully stamped card for a festive holiday treat.

  • Bring your completed card to the Duncan McDonald House:

    📍 115 McDonald Street
    🕛 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
    📅 Saturday, Nov. 29

    Every adventurer who completes a card earns a special treat!

  • Get an Elf on the Shelf Bingo card from participating businesses or download and print it here.

Small Business Saturday, held annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, shines a light on the independent businesses that anchor our community and play a vital role in daily life.

When you shop local, you support the business owners who greet you by name, invest in Waxhaw, and help shape the character of our downtown.

Your choices matter and make a difference, especially during a weekend dominated by big-box sales and online promotions.

Shopping small keeps more dollars in Waxhaw. That support strengthens local jobs, fuels reinvestment, and protects the charm that makes our downtown special. The impact is real and felt close to home.

This holiday weekend, take a stroll through Downtown Waxhaw. Explore favorite spots, discover new ones, and enjoy the experience of shopping from people who love what they do. There is no such thing as a small purchase to a small business owner. Your support makes a lasting difference.
