Special-Themed Saturdays In The District
While every Saturday is a chance to discover the heart and soul of The District – the special-themed Shop Local Saturdays offer the opportunity for more than a traditional shopping trip.
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!
