Now through the end of December, the Weekly has some big special things on the schedule, including Turkey Awards issue, our annual Shop Local section, and NYE 2026. Plus, one of our biggest magazine-style issues of the year, Holidays Edition 2025, hits the stands the first week of December. Then in January, it’s time to tackle those resolutions with our Alive & Kicking issue. Click the links below to check out examples from last year.

*Yes. It’s Panthy time, y’all! At the Weekly, November means the beginning of Music Awards season. During the voting phase for Best Of 2025 in August, we asked you to nominate businesses and people in various categories, including local music, and you did not disappoint. When the special issue hit the stands in late September, we put the Readers’ Choice music results on ice. Along with your top choices, we added a few of our critics’ picks, and now it’s time to make your final votes. Click here to check out the list of nominees. As for the actual ballot, which is limited to one submission per person, click here.
**It’s also time for HOLIDAYS 2026! The first issue of December is when our annual coffee-table-styled guide to the holidays is published. This piece will hit the stands on Wed, Dec 3, and will be kept by our readers as a reference throughout the season for where to dine, imbibe, and hunt for the best gifts.
