Two more great reasons to shop downtown Gadsden this holiday season
are Plaid Friday and Small Business Saturday.
Forget the stress of big box stores on Nov. 28 and shop in a more relaxing way. Wear your plaid and join us for Plaid Friday.
Plaid Friday is a movement that originated in 2009 and the name was chosen from the idea of weaving individual threads of small businesses together to
create a strong fabric that celebrates independent businesses.
“The festive season is when our historic downtown really shines,” says Kay
Moore, DGI Director. “The Christmas lights, the store window decorations,
holiday music, it’s the perfect time to stroll the sidewalks. Santa will also be
wearing his plaid and enjoying the day from 12-3 p.m.”
Following Plaid Friday, Nov. 28, come back again for Small Business Saturday on Nov. 29. This campaign was begun as a way to remind shoppers to devote part of their holiday shopping weekend to the small businesses that make up the backbone of our communities.
Stores will be offering extended hours; however, shoppers should check with each store to confirm their holiday shopping hours.
