INDEPENDENCE, Mo. â The holiday shopping season looks different at stores around the square in downtown Independence, Missouri.
Retailers modified the popular âLiving Windowsâ event in 2020 because of concerns about COVID-19, but they still want to encourage shoppers to buy local in a safe manner.
Normally during the one-night Living Windows event, people pack into storefront window displays to sing Christmas carols, perform music and act out nativity scenes. This year, retailers decorated their storefronts to the extreme and will leave the static displays in place until the end of the year.
