Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday

Date: Saturday, November 29, 2025
Time: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Location: Downtown Chico

Overview

The holiday season is here, and there's no better time to shop small and support the businesses that make Downtown Chico unique. From boutiques and gift shops to restaurants and specialty services, our downtown is full of one-of-a-kind experiences you won't find anywhere else.

When you choose to spend locally, you're doing more than making a purchase—you're strengthening our community. Did you know that $68 of every $100 spent at a small business stays right here in the local economy, supporting local jobs, nonprofits, suppliers, and essential services?

Join us on Saturday, November 29, 2025, from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM as Downtown Chico businesses celebrate Small Business Saturday with special sales, promotions, and holiday cheer. It's the perfect day to shop, explore, and make a meaningful impact in the place we all call home.

And to make it even sweeter…

Limit one per customer. Available while supplies last.
