Good morning, Charlottesville.

Charlottesville’s Holiday Market is setting up for its first event of the season and will open today — local vendors are ready to welcome visitors.

Barracks Road Shopping Center in Charlottesville is set to host its annual Holiday Parade as the festive season begins after Thanksgiving — community members can join the celebration to mark the start of local holiday events.

On November 28, locals spent less money this holiday season — a sign they were saving more.

In sports, the Cavaliers have a win-and-in chance as they try to win more games.

Local retail owners in Charlottesville say that Black Friday has changed into a 10-day sale that began on Nov.20th and will run until Dec.1st—this shift came after the COVID-19 pandemic and sets off a busy holiday season with special deals on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.

Virginia's Cavaliers bounced back from their first loss by routing Queens 94-69 Friday at John Paul Jones Arena as Thijs DeRidder scored 21 points and teammates Sam Lewis, Johann Grunloh and Devin Tillis added key contributions (the team will face Texas next Wednesday in the ACC/SEC Challenge).

Today, Virginia coach Tony Elliott said his team is focused on finishing strong at Scott Stadium — where a win secures an ACC Championship spot — as they aim to overcome last year’s struggles.

Quarterback Chandler Morris leads the team in his final game at the stadium, facing a weak Virginia Tech passing defense as they push to end the season with a win.
