Downtown Wellsville will be alot brighter starting November 29
WELLSVILLE, NY —The Jingle & Glow Committee is hard at work putting the finishing touches on its inaugural holiday season, set to illuminate the Fassett Green Space from November 29, 2025 through January 4, 2026. This brand-new community holiday experience will transform the Green Space into a festive destination filled with lights and seasonal cheer.
Jingle & Glow will also be one of the first stops for Santa Claus during the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Hometown Holiday Parade, which begins at 4:30 p.m. As the parade passes through, Santa will make a special visit to the Jingle & Glow Fassett Green Space, where he and the Jingle & Glow Presenting Sponsor, Walker Business & Staffing Services, will light up the space and holiday magic.
Committee members have been meeting regularly to design displays, coordinate logistics, and ensure this first-ever event brings joy to residents and visitors alike. The team is dedicated to creating a warm and welcoming celebration that highlights local spirit and supports Wellsville’s history and holiday traditions.
“We are thrilled to bring something new, festive, and family-friendly to the village,” said committee chair, Jackie Comstock. “The community support has already been incredible, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience Jingle & Glow.”

Pekarek Law Group, P.C.: Founded in Wellsville, Pekarek Law Group, P.C. has grown into a regional firm with its Wellsville headquarters and a Finger Lakes office in Hammondsport. The firm’s fortunes have been closely aligned with the resurgence of local capital investment and newfound optimism in the Wellsville commercial district. “As our adopted hometown, we are excited about Wellsville’s rebirth and honored to help beautify Main Street with lighting and decorations during the Christmas season” said Ed Pekarek.
Brand Name Appliance: The store’s history dates back to the owner’s purchase of the Sears store in Wellsville in 1986 and five years later, renamed it Brand Name Appliance, located on Wellsville’s Main Street. Wellsville became home to the owner and his family and his community connection remains strong. Brand Name Appliance is excited about having Main Street glowing even brighter with Jingle & Glow.
