Shop Small Saturdays in South End This Holiday Season

While Small Business Saturday is officially November 27, the folks at South End Charlotte have devised a way for us to be able to enjoy this annual shopping event and support Charlotte’s small business community for FOUR Shop Small Saturdays again this year. So if you’re traveling for Thanksgiving or have company at your house who would rather watch football, then you have 3 other Saturdays to Shop Small and Support.

Here’s the scoop. 

Local vendors come out every Saturday during the holiday season to create a unique holiday shopping experience in South End. It’s your chance to explore the best that the neighborhood and the QC have to offer in an open-air market filled with cheer.
