Baby It’s Cold Outside – February 12, 2022

We are very excited to announce for the second year that the Chamber will run the Baby It’s Cold Outside – Valentine’s Day Outdoor Downtown Dining Event!

On February 12 from 6-10pm Woodworth Street in downtown Alma will be shutdown to create a social district, allowing Valentine’s Day diners a romantic and memorable dining experience. Cozy up with the family or that special someone and enjoy food and drink (beer and alcohol too!) from participating restaurants.

Restaurants will provide to-go meals and drinks (if available) that can be purchased and brought to the social district.

Tables and chairs, music, and fire pits will be provided to help rekindle the eternal flame of love. BYO hats and mittens.

Entrance is FREE! Come and buy from our shops while safely enjoying everything downtown Alma has to offer.

How to Participate

Downtown Businesses

If you are interested in being listed as a participating business click below. Participating businesses will be put on a list as open before or during the event. We will include any specials or sales you’ll have that day. Participation is free:

Sponsorships are available!

We are also looking for sponsors for this event. As was also the case last year, the event came together very quickly and we still need support to help pay for resources to make this happen.

Last year we had over 100 people visit our open space downtown, and helped fill the restaurants throughout downtown Alma. If you or your organization is interested in sponsoring, please click the button below:
