The District Shop Local Saturdays include special themes that encourage not only shoppers to shop but also business owners to participate. From Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Sidewalk Sales to Shop Small Saturday in November and Holiday-themed shopping events in December, these special Saturdays are the perfect opportunity to enjoy time with family and friends while supporting local businesses.

The District—Stores, Shops, Coffee Shops…
From one-of-a-kind finds to friendly service, the small businesses found within the 92 blocks that make up The District, offer more than just goods — they create jobs, strengthen the local economy, and bring neighbors together. Whether you’re picking up fresh produce, browsing unique boutiques, or grabbing a drink from your favorite coffee shop, every dollar spent locally helps keep our community vibrant and thriving.

Join us for the next Shop Local Saturday and see what makes shopping local so special!

This holiday season, experience the magic of shopping, dining, and celebrating locally in The District. On Small Business Saturday, November 28, stroll through The District and rediscover the joy of finding meaningful gifts, welcoming storefronts, and the kind of genuine, personal service you can only get from local businesses.

“From boutiques and hair studios to bars, agencies, restaurants, and specialty shops, The District is home to an eclectic mix of small businesses that help make Quincy unique,” stated Executive Director of The District Brianna Rivera. “Many stores will be offering specials for early shoppers—so come start your day with us in The District!”
