Did you know that 68¢ of every dollar spent at local shops and restaurants remains in our neighborhood?* Make a big impact by supporting your neighbors during Small Business Saturday. 

• FREE Shop Small bags, buttons, and maps will be distributed in front of 318 Main Street beginning at 10 AM (while quantities last)
• FREE Parking (Street Parking is not monitored on weekends.)

Thanks to a sponsorship from The Scout Guide Evansville, we will be giving away $500 in Downtown Evansville e-Gift Cards on Small Business Saturday. Shoppers who participate in our Shop Small Passport will be entered to win.

How it works:
When shoppers make a purchase at any of the 10 participating locations, they will receive a stamp on their passport from that business. Each stamp is one entry to win a gift card to a Downtown business. The more stamps a shopper receives on their passport, the more entries they will have to win Downtown Evansville e-Gift Cards. 

RETAILER HOURS AND SALES WILL VARY PER LOCATION.
