Shop small,
shop Bay Street
Small Business Saturday
Small Business Saturday is an annual, nationwide movement to celebrate small and local businesses. The event always falls on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, when the holiday shopping season begins. Unlike Black Friday, which focuses on deep discounts at big box stores, Small Business Saturday emphasizes shopping locally, investing in our local communities, and celebrating the unique gifts and experiences provided by our neighboring entrepreneurs. We hope you’ll join the nationwide movement to shop local, all while finding unique and memorable gifts for your loved ones!
How Can You Participate?

What are Bay Street Bucks?
Thanks to a generous donation from the Port Orchard Rotary, we’re giving out $10 Bay Street Bucks to the first 100 people to attend the kick off event. These bucks work just like cash at any of the participating businesses on Small Business Saturday! So be sure to come early and get your bucks and then spend it as you shop your way through downtown Port Orchard!
