Small Business Saturday (Nov 29)

Be part of the national celebration of small businesses! Host a sale, giveaway, or special event on Nov 29 and we'll promote your business all day long. We'll kick things off with a FREE community event at the Civic Center (10am-1pm) to drive crowds downtown, then send shoppers your way.

Holiday Passport Program (Nov 29-Dec 24)

Sign up to be featured on our digital map! Shoppers scan a QR code at your location to enter our grand prize drawing. The more businesses they visit, the better their chances to win, which means more foot traffic for you all season long. We provide the QR code and signage, you just display it. Option to display any store details, specials or events directly on the map.
