Small Business Saturday is November 30
Support Small Businesses in Downtown Evansville

The Downtown Evansville Economic Improvement District (EID) celebrates the 15th Annual Small Business Saturday® on Saturday, November 30 from 10 AM – 5 PM in Downtown Evansville.

“While we encourage supporting local all year long, we invite everyone to visit our Downtown businesses this Small Business Saturday for the biggest shopping day of the year,” said Adam Trinkel, EID executive director. Shopping small supports real economic growth in our community through jobs, business ownership opportunities, tax base, and on average, more than two-thirds of every dollar ($0.68) spent at a small business in the U.S. stays in that local community.1

Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry has issued a proclamation designating Saturday, November 30 as Small Business Saturday. The EID will distribute maps, buttons, and limited quantity Shop Small bags at 318 Main Street beginning at 10 AM. The EID will be selling Downtown Evansville branded attire as well. Individual stores will feature specials throughout the day. Unique specialty vendors will also offer locally made items along Main Street from 2nd to 6th Streets, including natural beauty products, pet boutique items, handmade jewelry, art, and baked goods.

New for 2024, shoppers can enter to win $500 in Downtown Evansville e-Gift cards sponsored by The Scout Guide Evansville and the Tri-State Area. Shoppers can enter to win by participating in the Shop Small Passport. When shoppers make a purchase at any of the 11 participating locations, they will receive a stamp on their passport from that business. Each stamp is one entry. The more stamps a shopper receives on their passport, the more entries they will have to win Downtown Evansville e-Gift Cards. Passports will be distributed at each participating business and should be returned to the EID tent at 318 Main Street by 4 PM on Saturday. The Downtown Evansville e-Gift Card program launched earlier this month and is designed to promote consumer spending Downtown. The e-gift cards are convenient to purchase and a versatile gifting option.
