South End Shop Small Saturdays
Holiday cheer 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.
Shop Small Saturdays will kick off on November 26 with open-air shopping markets alongside unique retail at Atherton, along Camden Road, and at the Shops at The Winnifred.

Shop Small Saturdays will continue in December, and you can earn your South End street cred by shopping local all season long and redeeming your Shop Small Hero Card for neighborhood merch. Big things happen when you shop small!
