Brooksville Main Street is thrilled to announce a vibrant celebration of Small Business Saturday on November 29th, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, in historic downtown Brooksville.
This year's event combines the joy of holiday shopping with the excitement of a digital scavenger hunt, encouraging residents to discover and support the heart of their community.
What is Small Business Saturday? Founded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is a nationwide movement held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It champions the unique local businesses that enrich neighborhoods, drive local economies, and foster vibrant community cultures. When you choose to "shop small," you directly support local jobs, contribute to the local tax base, and help maintain the distinctive charm of our town.
Unleash Your Inner Explorer with the WeLoveBVL Small Business Digital Scavenger Hunt!
Adding an exciting twist to the day, Brooksville Main Street is bringing back the WeLoveBVL Small Business Digital Scavenger Hunt! Designed to showcase the incredible array of local shops, restaurants, and services in the downtown community, this contest kicks off early on November 24th and runs until December 6th, giving participants ample time to fill their Bingo cards for a chance to win big!
Why Shop Small? By shopping small, you're not just finding unique and personalized gifts; you're directly investing in your local economy. For every dollar spent at a small business, approximately 67 cents remain within the local community, creating jobs and strengthening our economic foundation. Every purchase helps our local restaurants, retail stores, manufacturers, and service providers thrive.
