| | |  | | 🎄❄️ The 38th Tallahassee Winter Festival supports local businesses. | WTXL This year's Winter Festival attracted thousands of local residents, which provided additional revenue to small businesses. The neighbors filling the streets gave a level of visibility that is unmatched by the pop-up shops and social media efforts the local enterprises usually depend on for revenue. 💸 "Every small business really relies on these seasons where we can maximize where we can bring as many people through the doors as possible so this festival is doing just that," said Ashley Chaney, owner of Hayward House. | WTXL Director of the Tallahassee Leon County Office of Economic Vitality Keith Bowers said these events do bring tourists and locals alike together to increase spending within the local economy. Holiday Tip: Avail Capital City Pedicabs’ tours which provide alternative transportation services while contributing to the local economy and overall welfare of the Tallahassee community. | Book your ride here. 🚲
