November 3, 2026 (North Conway, NH) — A longtime New England shopping tradition, 

Settlers Green’s Bring A Friend returns November 6–11, bringing friends and families together 

for unique retail offers, in-store experiences and a head start on holiday shopping. The six-day 

event culminates with Flagship Day on Saturday, November 7, featuring extended shopping 

hours, giveaways and a full day of entertainment.

Since its debut in 2001, Bring A Friend has become an annual tradition for shoppers looking to 

pair great finds and savings with a memorable day out. Participating retailers will offer exclusive 

event deals, including 20% off purchases of $100 or more at J.Crew Factory and Columbia, an 

additional 30% off Cotopaxi apparel and outerwear with a $150 purchase, and 15% off at Kate 

Spade New York. Additional promotions will be available at stores throughout Settlers Green.

Flagship Day, November 7, kicks off at 8 a.m. with the giveaway of 1,000 free shopping bags on 

The Green near Timberland. Each bag includes special offers, gifts and gift card giveaways, 

while supplies last.

The day’s festivities also include hourly raffle drawings, photos with Santa, live ice carving, a 

petting zoo, local beer tastings and live music with DJ Corey Genest. At 11 a.m., shoppers can 

join the Bring A Friend Parade, starting near Banana Republic. Participants are encouraged to 

dress in festive holiday attire, with a $100 Settlers Green Gift Card awarded for the “Most 

Christmas-y Costume.” 

Bring A Friend also supports the local community through initiatives including Angels & Elves, 

which helps provide holiday gifts to children in need throughout the Mount Washington Valley; 

Photos With Santa, presented by the Kiwanis Club, which brings holiday cheer to local families; 

and the Festival of Trees, which celebrates the season while supporting the community through 

local fundraising efforts. 

“There’s a special energy at Bring A Friend that you just have to experience in person,” said 

Michael Mitchroney, General Manager at Settlers Green. “From discovering unique offers at 

your favorite retailers to making a day of shopping with friends and family, it’s an event that 

brings people together. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with local nonprofits and 

community organizations and celebrate everything that makes the Mount Washington Valley
