Small Business Saturday and Holiday Tree Lighting

Saturday, November 24th is Small Business Saturday, a day sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday to bring focus and sales to local small businesses. South End has participated in Small Business Saturday since it’s inception in 2010 by American Express. With over 870 businesses in South End and over 90% of those classified as small businesses, Small Business Saturday is a perfect fit and promotion for our neighborhood. 

Small Business Saturday is designed for each individual business to create their own sale promotions or sales events and can make use of the many free tools and giveaways they can provide to customers. As a way to enhance the sales offerings of each business in South End we are hosting a variety of events and holiday promotions to bring you to the neighborhood. South End is more than just two streets so our retailers are spread throughout the district and to address these challenges we’ll have information booths set up in key locations. You’ll be able to get South End Maps, Shopping Bags, Balloons and other goodies!
