Small Business Saturday will be held in Patrick County on November 25 this year.
Created in 2010 to help support small businesses and the communities that we love, the event has become a holiday shopping tradition that leaves many feeling inspired to Shop Small year-round.
Small Business Saturday is about more than just shopping at local stores. It’s about celebrating and sharing the small businesses that are part of our lives — from corner stores to family-owned eateries, to vendors at the farmers’ market. They’re the places we call our own and can’t imagine living without. It’s these businesses and the people behind them that make Patrick County unique. And when they succeed, we all do.
Patrick County offers several ways to Shop Small for Small Business Saturday.:
Meadows of Dan is always a great place to shop, from the High Country Lavender, The Mayberry Trading Post, Poppies, Concord Corner Store, Villa Appalaccia, Nancy’s Candy Company, and more. Spend the day shopping in Meadows of Dan, and be ready for their annual Christmas Parade at 3 p.m.
Other activities in the county include a Holiday Market at Fairy Stone State Park (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), Stanburn Winery will be open (12 to 4 p.m.) along with Ayers-Kreh Tree Farm (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and the shops along Main Street in Stuart, such as Mattie B’s, Uptown Stagecoach, The Honey Pot, The Hatteras Pearl, and more.
Support the businesses in your community and in the county — shop locally on Small Business Saturday and throughout the year.
