Jingle Bells by the Bay holiday shopping and dining is Sunday downtown

Bay Shore’s restaurants and retailers are inviting the public downtown for an afternoon of holiday shopping, dining and maybe winning on Sunday, Dec. 17.

It’s the first-ever Jingle Bells by the Bay.

The day will feature product discounts and holiday-themed specialty plates and drinks — and culminates in the announcement of the 30 Days of Eating in Bay Shore raffle winner.

That winner will receive $50 discounts to over 30 local eateries.

“We’ll also have Christmas carolers. And next year we’d like to expand this into more of a full-blown holiday festival,” said Mike McElwee of Bay Shore’s restaurant committee, which is running the day’s events.

Jingle Bells by the Bay starts at noon and runs to 5 p.m.

The 30 Days of Eating in Bay Shore winner will be chosen at 3:30 p.m. at Drew Patrick Spa at 128 West Main Street. Tickets are still available for $20 each at nearly all of the downtown area and waterfront restaurants.

Changing Times Pub is also running their own raffle contests at the restaurant. The Penny Pub will be playing A Christmas Story all day. There’s also an Ugly Sweater Sing-Along party at T.J. Finley’s with Bobby Digital, and more for visitors to Main Street.
