The DMBA Celebrates Community with Small Business Saturday
Milford shoppers, get ready! The Downtown Milford Business Association has announced that select members are once again participating in Small Business Saturday, taking place on November 30. The annual celebration was founded by American Express in 2010 and is held on the Saturday following Thanksgiving to encourage holiday shoppers to support independent businesses across the country.
“Whether it’s a boutique, hair salon, pub, or fitness studio, small businesses have a way of bringing people together,” said Julie Nash, Director of Economic Development for the City of Milford. “Small Business Saturday is really a way to celebrate the businesses that make Milford feel like home.”
Small Business Saturday doesn’t just offer an attractive alternative to big-box shopping. It creates a warm, friendly, and festive holiday shopping experience—with friendly shop owners offering gift suggestions and presents and experiences you just can’t get online or at a mall. To round out the day, the Milford Library is inviting shoppers for coffee and a free a cappella concert by Victorian carolers singing all the holiday favorites.
“We are proud to see how Small Business Saturday inspires our community to come together,” said Tracy Bonosconi, DMBA President. “When our businesses thrive, so does Milford.”
Small Business Saturday takes place in Downtown Mllford on Saturday, November 30 during retail hours. For more information about the DMBA, go to www.downtownmilfordct.com
