Pink Friday Nov 22, 5:00 PM- 9:00 PM
What is Pink Friday?
Pink Friday is a nationwide event dedicated to celebrating and supporting small and local businesses. Established in 2020, it takes place annually on the Friday before Black Friday, encouraging shoppers to discover and support small businesses first during the holiday season.
Pink Friday highlights the value of community, urging shoppers to invest in the vibrancy and diversity of their local economies before turning to big-box retailers.
Imagine if the entire small business community came together to champion one cause: #SUPPORTSMALLFIRST. We're shifting the holiday shopping narrative away from big corporations and towards our beloved local gems.
