ANETRA ALIGNMENT STYLE GUIDE RELEASE

ADDing A FASHION-FORWARD CELEBRATION TO ASHLAND’S 57TH ANNUAL OLDE TIME HOLIDAY PARADE ON NOVEMBER 22

What if one of Ashland’s most beloved holiday traditions came with a little extra sparkle, a delicious brunch, a fashion show, and a whole lot of local shopping?

On Sunday, November 22, the Ashland Sunday Brunch Markets are inviting residents and visitors to make a full day of the 57th Annual Ashland/Hanover Olde Time Holiday Parade. Before the parade steps off at 2 p.m. in historic Downtown Ashland, guests can warm up, fuel up, shop small, and celebrate community at Studio54, attached to Cafe54, during a special holiday edition of the Sunday Brunch Markets.

And this Sunday brings something especially fabulous: Boldlychic – Anetra Alignment Style Guide Release, taking place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in partnership with LouAffirms.

The fashion-forward celebration introduces the newly released Anetra Alignment Style Guide, encouraging guests to explore authentic personal style, embrace individuality, and discover how inner confidence and elevated fashion can work together. The event will feature a dazzling fashion show, delicious food, music, and a 360 Photo Booth for capturing a few unforgettable holiday memories.

But the runway is only part of the attraction.

Throughout the morning, visitors can enjoy DJed music, swing dancing with Dance Friends RVA, farm-to-fork breakfast and brunch offerings, and a curated collection of locally owned businesses and independent makers bringing one-of-a-kind finds to the Center of the Universe.

A NEW WAY TO EXPERIENCE AN ASHLAND TRADITION

Now in its 57th year, the Ashland/Hanover Olde Time Holiday Parade is a treasured community tradition, bringing families, neighbors, and visitors together for an afternoon of holiday celebration. Hosted by the Kiwanis Club of Ashland, this year's parade begins at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 22, in Downtown Ashland.

The Sunday Brunch Markets offer a natural addition to the festivities, giving paradegoers a welcoming place to gather before the procession begins.

Think of it as the ultimate holiday warm-up: enjoy brunch, discover local businesses, take a spin on the dance floor, snap a photo, experience a fashion show, and then head downtown for the marching bands, festive floats, antique tractors, community groups, and the much-anticipated arrival of Santa Claus.

Best of all, admission to the Ashland Sunday Brunch Markets is FREE.

Because supporting local businesses, celebrating creativity, and bringing people together should be something everyone can enjoy.
