ASTORIA LIVE | December 1st, 2025

Hello Astoria!

We're in the final month of 2025 and Astoria is filled with opportunities to gather, celebrate, and even check off some of those New Year's Resolutions you set 11 months ago.

I put together a gift guide of 15 special items and experiences crafted right here in Astoria. I don't get a penny from this - I just want to support local small businesses and artists. Please do let me know if you find it helpful or make a purchase for yourself or someone else!

Beyond that, there are several fun events and meetups happening this week. Scroll on for the full list!

Cheers,

Stacey
