RIVAS LAUNCHES ITS 2025 CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN TO BOOST LOCAL BUSINESSES: MORE THAN 22,000 EUROS IN PRIZES
2025/12/01
Christmas is just around the corner, and the Rivas Vaciamadrid City Council is launching a new edition of its campaign to support local businesses under the slogan "Experience Rivas, experience Christmas, shop locally." The goal, once again, is to raise awareness among residents about the benefits of shopping at local businesses and to strengthen the municipality's commercial sector during one of the busiest periods of the year.
All businesses that register for the municipal campaign will receive a special Christmas decoration kit, consisting of a tree, a royal mailbox with letters for the Three Wise Men, and a decorative rug for the entrance of their establishment.
Grand Christmas Treasure Hunt “Rivas Jones”: 9,000 euros in prizes
The traditional Rivas Jones Gymkhana will take place on December 13th, a festive adventure through the city's shops that will distribute 9,000 euros in prizes.
Participants will have to visit different establishments, correctly answer questions posed by shopkeepers, and overcome various surprise challenges.
Those who complete the entire route will receive a €50 shopping voucher, redeemable at participating businesses. The day will culminate in a grand Christmas celebration in the Plaza de la Constitución.
