Shop Small Saturdays
Holiday around every corner in South End.
Here's the scoop.
Shop Small Saturdays has been a South End tradition for 10 years because shopping small also means supporting a big dream. Local vendors come out for three consecutive Saturdays during the holiday season to create a unique, open-air shopping experience at different locations throughout the neighborhood. After all, big things happen when you shop small!

The Shop Small Hero Card
The Shop Small Hero Card encourages you to spend your money locally, with prizes in return. 480 Shop Small Hero Cards were redeemed in 2021! Here's how it worked:
- Step 1: Pick up a Shop Small Hero Card at the welcome tents at each Shop Small Saturday event, or from participating South End businesses.
- Step 2: Make a purchase of at least $10 at participating businesses to get a sticker. The goal is to collect 5 stickers. See which businesses participated in 2021.
- Step 3: Once you have 5 stickers, turn in your card at one of the designated drop-off spots.
