Small Business Saturday
Saturday, November 29, 2025
Description
Small Business Saturday, held annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, is designed to encourage shoppers to choose local, independent businesses over national chains. Since its creation by American Express in 2010, the day has become a national tradition that strengthens local economies and celebrates the small business community.
This year, the celebration comes to Downtown Sandusky and Downtown Huron on November 29th. Join us from 9 AM-12 PM to shop and support local businesses and pop-up vendors.
Spend the morning exploring small businesses and vendors, enjoy local dining, and celebrate the creativity and entrepreneurship that make our communities unique. In Sandusky, the event will be held at Marketplace Downtown (Hogrefe Building, 162 Columbus Avenue), while in Huron, it will take place at 511 Main Street.
Join us in celebrating the spirit of small businesses and pop-up vendors who make our communities thrive!
