Cider Monday

That’s not a typo!  Instead of Cyber Monday, a day when online merchants offer special deals, we invite you to a new tradition, CIDER MONDAY.  Willard Williams, founder of the Toadstool Bookshops, dreamed up Cider Monday as an antidote to Cyber Monday. Merchants offer cider, donuts, and other apple-themed offering in their store.  Click on this link for participating 2024 Cider Monday Businesses and to sign up your business.

The First Friday of every month, the merchants of  Downtown Peterborough keep their doors open late to welcome you!  Stroll around and discover the unique shops, restaurants and galleries all within easy walking distance. Each location has something special …  From books to cigars to jewelry, and delicious pastries, chocolates, to original art, WE HAVE IT ALL.  Even a gift for that “four legged” member of the family!  Partake on all the area has to offer and then finish off the evening with dinner at one of the many restaurants in Downtown Peterborough.  Book an outdoor table and dine alfresco.  Thinking take out?  Lots of options available for you to take home. For specific details about this event and participating shops and restaurants check out the Depot Square Facebook page!
