GO OUT, SHOP SMALL & EAT LOCAL
JULY 17-19, 2026

With hundreds of local businesses participating in the festivities throughout the state, we are calling on you to shop & eat local all weekend long.

Ways to support LOCAL

It starts with you.

Make the Weekend of Local a friends or family affair. Word of mouth is the strongest marketing tool for small businesses. Call on everyone you know to participate by shopping and eating local only July 11-13.

 

Our local businesses are the heartbeat of our communities. They show up, every day, to serve you and make our cities unique, vibrant and strong. We see them and appreciate them and hope you join us in celebrating them.
