Shop Local: Small Business Saturday in the Village of the Arts

BRADENTON — Bradenton’s Village of the Arts will host Small Business Saturday, November 30, to support local businesses, while allowing locals to enjoy stress-free shopping. Discover unique gifts, one-of-a-kind treasures, and special finds for even the hardest-to-shop-for on your list. 

Start your day at The Village Patio,  1213 13th Ave W, where you can pick up a Shop Small Scavenger Hunt entry form—a fun way to explore the 15 participating galleries, shops, and artist studios. 

Arrive early for free coffee, grab lunch at one of the local restaurants, and drop off your completed scavenger hunt entry at the end of the day for a chance to win the Shop Small Prize Bag, filled with unique art and gifts from the galleries and studios—valued at over $200.

Exciting additions this year include Marty the Marauder as a special guest. Marty will be on hand to greet visitors and add extra holiday cheer. Plus, they've added tickets to a Bradenton Marauders Baseball Game to the Shop Small Prize Bag.

More than ever, people are recognizing the importance of community, and at its backbone are the unique businesses owned, staffed, and operated by our neighbors.
