Key dates

Where to shop

Westchester Commons

The open-air center at 15786 WC Main St. runs seasonal events through the year, posted on its events page. Its tree lighting has been the center’s holiday kickoff: in 2025 it was at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, on Main Street, with live music, fire pits and Santa. The 2026 date was not posted when we checked; we will add it here and on our Christmas parade and tree lighting page.

Chesterfield Towne Center and the Turnpike

Chesterfield Towne Center, the enclosed mall on Midlothian Turnpike, sets its own Thanksgiving weekend hours, and stores inside may open earlier or close later. Shopping centers line the Turnpike from the mall west to the village, including Chattanooga Plaza. We list each center’s Black Friday hours here only once the center publishes them.

Small Business Saturday

Experience Chesterfield, the county’s tourism office, publishes a Small Business Saturday gift guide of locally owned shops and places to give as experiences. Among them:

• Gifts and cards: Pop of Confetti and The Painted Tree Boutiques in Midlothian
• Fashion: She Chester and Sassy Bee
• Sports gear: Lucky Road Run Shop, The Ski Center and Sports Gear, Inc.
• Food and drink: The Olive Oil Taproom and Ashton Creek Vineyard
• Plants: Cross Creek Nursery
• Experiences: the Children’s Museum of Richmond in Chesterfield, Swift Creek Mill Theatre and the Art Factory

The county says it is not paid to list any business. Shops set their own hours and offers for the day; check each one’s site.

Holiday markets

Midlothian’s outdoor farmers markets close for the season by early November; see our farmers markets guide. We list a holiday market here once its organizer posts the date, time and place on its own site. To add yours, send it to us.

For children, the Bon Air Library holds Victorian Holiday Ornament Decorating at 11 a.m. and noon on Small Business Saturday, Nov. 28.

Parking and traffic

Chesterfield County had posted no special traffic plan for Thanksgiving weekend when we checked. Midlothian Turnpike (U.S. Route 60) and Hull Street Road (U.S. Route 360) carry most of the shopping traffic. For lane closures and crashes, use Virginia 511; for a crash with no injuries or a parking lot problem, call police non-emergency at 804-748-1251. Our road construction page lists current work zones.
