Join us this holiday season to celebrate Small Business Saturday on Saturday, November 29 by exploring and supporting the unique shops, restaurants, and services that make our downtown special.
Launched nationally by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is held each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to #ShopSmall and support local entrepreneurs. What began as a single day campaign has grown into a national movement that reminds us that every purchase made locally helps strengthen the community.
This year, more than 15 downtown businesses are joining together to offer special promotions, activities, and experiences on Saturday, November 29.
These include discounts, featured dishes, crafts, giveaways, entertainment, and other unique offerings. There is something for everyone to enjoy.
Follow along on our Facebook event to stay updated with all the participating businesses and specials.
To help plan your visit, view the interactive map below (or display full screen map) that shows each participating downtown business, the special they are offering that day, and where to park.
Why Shopping Local Matters
When you shop locally, you do more than check off your holiday list. You invest directly in the West Chicago community. Local businesses create jobs, support our schools and nonprofits, and keep more dollars circulating within the community. Each purchase supports a thriving, walkable, and vibrant downtown that reflects the character and creativity of the people who live and work here.
Supporting small businesses does not need to end with Small Business Saturday. Make it a year-round habit to visit your favorite local spots, discover new ones, and share your experiences on social media using #ShopSmall and #InWestChicago.
Shop Small Throughout the Year
There are many ways to support local businesses throughout the season and all year long, even if you cannot visit on November 29. Consider:
Every action, large or small, helps keep our local economy strong.
Come shop, dine, and celebrate community this Small Business Saturday, November 29 and help make downtown West Chicago shine throughout the year.
