South End Shop Small Saturday

Holiday cheer around every corner in South End.

Here's the scoop.

Shop Small Saturday has been a South End tradition for 11 years because shopping small also means supporting a big dream.

Shop Small Saturday will kick off on November 25 with open-air shopping markets alongside unique retail at Atherton and along Camden Road.

Keep the holiday spirit going and continue to shop local all season long. Big things happen when you shop small!

Atherton: 8a – 3p at the South End Farmer's Market, with 50+ local vendors
Camden Road: 11a-5p, Camden Road street festival from Atherton to Park Ave., with 120+ local vendors

The Shop Small Hero Card encourages you to spend money locally, with prizes in return. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Pick up a Shop Small Hero Card at one of the welcome tents at Shop Small Saturday.
Step 2: Shop 'til you drop at a vendor, a shop at Atherton, a shop on Camden Rd., or a shop at the Design Center. Collect a sticker for every $10 you spend.
Step 3: Once your Hero Card is full, redeem your Hero Card for a South End Tote Bag at the welcome tent.
