The San Marcos Main Street Program and local shops all around San Marcos are celebrating Small Business Saturday on Nov. 26 with shopping specials, music, giveaways and more.

 

“Last year was the first year downtown joined the national campaign for Shop Small Saturday and we are excited to see the initiative grow to include small businesses all around San Marcos,” said Main Street Program Manager Samantha Armbruster. “This is a great way for shoppers to support our small business owners and get those unique gifts that you can only find in San Marcos.”

 

Downtown San Marcos will serve as the hub for the Shop Small activities from 12 – 5 p.m. Included in the day’s festivities will be free pictures with Santa, free giftwrapping for small business purchases made that day, giveaways, contests and more at the Hays County Historic Courthouse.

 

Shoppers are invited to continue the festivities with a Downtown Lighting Celebration from 3 – 6 p.m. In addition to the Shop Small activities, downtown San Marcos will offer free pedicab rides.

 

Downtown businesses will offer free wine and specials for shoppers and Café Monet will have an opportunity for a Kid’s Day Out craft project while parents shop.

 

The official lighting ceremony begins at 5:30 p.m. on the courthouse steps and will included music from the Scheib Center Choir and presentations by officials from the City of San Marcos and Hays County.

 

The City of San Marcos, San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, San Marcos Main Street Program, Greater San Marcos Partnership, and San Marcos Convention and Visitors Bureau have endorsed the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small Business Saturday.

 

According to the United States Small Business Administration, there are currently 28.8 million small businesses in the United States, representing 99.7 percent of all businesses with employees in the United States.
