November 24: Small Business Saturday

Venue: Downtown Louisville

The annual holiday shopping tradition that gets communities everywhere out in support of their favorite small businesses is almost here! Whether you’re rallying your community as a Neighborhood Champion, operating as a small business owner, or supporting your favorite spots as a shopper, there’s a place for you in the Shop Small Movement.

In 2011, the US Senate unanimously passed a resolution in support of Small Business Saturday and officials in all 50 states participate. It even gets a shout-out from the president of the United States. In 2013, more than 1,400 individuals and organizations signed up as Neighborhood Champions to rally their communities with events and activities on Small Business Saturday — and that number continues to grow. Since Small Business Saturday started, U.S. customers have reported spending an estimated total of $85 billion at independent retailers and restaurants!

As shopping small catches on in communities everywhere, Small Business Saturday goes from a cause to a day of community celebration. Join us Downtown this Saturday, November 24th to celebrate and shop during Small Business Saturday! Hop on the LouLift and visit all of the independent, local shops along the route. Find the perfect gift for that special someone, or buy something for yourself! Check with individual businesses for specials and discounts.
