Small Business Saturday

Gear up for an entire day dedicated to supporting our vibrant local small businesses! Join us downtown and become part of a city-wide celebration that goes beyond borders.

 Explore a tapestry of unique offerings as businesses roll out the red carpet with exclusive in-store promotions and specials just for YOU! It’s the perfect opportunity to discover hidden gems and snag one-of-a-kind finds while supporting our community’s entrepreneurs.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Look out for The Grinch making mischief from 12pm-2pm! This mischievous character is handing out over $1,000 in Downtown gift cards! If he crosses your path, pick an envelope and unveil a gift card ranging from $5 to $20 – it’s a holiday surprise you won’t want to miss!

A massive shout-out to our generous sponsors, Downtown BID #1 and Downtown Racine Corporation, for making this magical day possible!

 With over 100 small businesses, Downtown Racine is a treasure trove of authentic restaurants ready to tantalize your taste buds. From cozy cafes to eclectic boutiques, there’s something for everyone, even the pickiest of gift recipients!

 Worried about parking? Fear not! Enjoy free meter parking all day during Small Business Saturday. Keep in mind, our tire-marking strategy ensures space turnover, and while most meters have a four-hour limit, the Lakefront Lot and ramps with gates are excluded from the free parking bonanza.

Let’s champion our local heroes – our small businesses! Remember, when you shop local, $0.67 of every dollar stays right here in our community, contributing to the heartbeat of Downtown Racine. Be a part of something special – shop small, shop local, and make a big impact!
