Bring A Friend

Overview

Settlers Green has built a reputation for hosting one of the most exciting shopping events in New England. Bring A Friend happens every November right around Veterans Day. As it has grown, it has expanded from a single day event into a 10-day extravaganza. In 2025, it is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Event dates will be November 7-16, 2025.

The event brings thousands of shoppers, primarily women, to North Conway for a girls’ getaway with extended family and friends for a multi-day shopping experience. It is a tradition for many, with 80% of shoppers reporting they have attended the event multiple times since it began in 2001.

The core of activities from the original single day event remains the biggest draw. Referred to as the “Big Day,” it all kicks off with a free bag giveaway where 1000 bags, stuffed with coupon books, exclusive offers, and gifts, are distributed to a line of eager shoppers at 8 a.m. Typically, hundreds of people are lined up by the time we start distributing the bags at 8 a.m. and the bags are usually gone within 30-60 minutes. One bag includes a $500 gift card for one lucky shopper to kick off their shopping spree. Stores have extended hours, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and the day is filled with entertainment and festivities. The “Big Day” this year is Saturday, November 8.

For those that can’t make it on November 8, store deals and lodging specials are available throughout the entirety of the 10-day event. Additionally, shoppers can reserve a shopping bag for $10, which gives them the liberty of picking up the bag any time during the 10-day event. The reserved bag, referred to as the premium bag, goes on sale on October 1. It is an online sale only, sold exclusively on this page (scroll down to the Premium Bag information). Premium bags usually sell out within 24 hours.
