When it comes to holiday shopping, the best gifts often come wrapped in local charm. This Small Business Saturday, Downtown Evansville invites everyone to shop, dine, and explore while supporting the small businesses that give our community its unique character.
Did you know that 68¢ of every dollar spent at local shops and restaurants stays right here in our neighborhood? That means your purchases help sustain local jobs, strengthen the regional economy, and keep Evansville’s downtown vibrant all year long.
With more than 10 locally owned shops and 30 restaurants to enjoy, there’s no shortage of ways to show your support. From boutique fashion finds and handcrafted goods to delicious brunches and cozy coffee stops, your holiday shopping day downtown can be as rewarding as it is fun.
