Shop by Candlelight brings festivity and customer traffic to Selby Avenue

by Maja Holmen | City Reporter | Published Nov. 18, 2025

Rows of small paper luminaries glowed along Selby Avenue on Thursday night, as St. Paul residents turned out for the annual Shop by Candlelight event.

Organized by the Selby-Snelling Area Business Association, the tradition encourages local stores to extend hours into the evening, offering discounts, special treats and surprises and music to create a festive holiday atmosphere.

Jill Erickson, owner of the sustainable boutique Spoils of Wear and co-owner of Leo Footwear, highlighted the magnitude of the event for the local shop owners.

“We’ve been planning it for a couple months. It’s our biggest shopping event of the year,” Erickson said.

Erickson said the event has taken place on the street for about 13 years. In past Novembers, shoppers have braved wind, cold and snow to participate.
