Saturday, November 28, 2026
Kick off the holiday shopping season by supporting the businesses that make our community thrive! Join us in Lodi for Shop Small Saturday 2026, a community-wide celebration of local shopping, connection, and hometown pride.
On Saturday, November 28, we will bring together our entire business community to welcome shoppers with special promotions, unique gift ideas, festive experiences, and plenty of reasons to shop close to home.
Why Shopping Small Matters
When you shop local, you’re doing more than making a purchase — you’re making an investment in your community.
Studies consistently show that shopping at small, locally owned businesses keeps more money circulating in the local economy, helping support jobs, community projects, and public services. Local business owners are your neighbors, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters of local schools, events, and nonprofits.
Small businesses also offer:
- Personalized customer service
- Unique, one-of-a-kind products
- Locally inspired goods and gifts
- Strong community connections
Every purchase — big or small — helps keep our downtown vibrant and our local economy strong.
What to Expect
Shop Small Saturday in Lodi is more than just a shopping day — it’s an experience.
Shoppers can look forward to:
- Holiday-ready storefronts and displays
- Special promotions and in-store events
- Exclusive deals and gift ideas
- Friendly faces and festive energy
- Opportunities to discover new local favorites
- AND everyone’s favorite – The Annual Holiday Duck Hunt – a community wide, business oriented hunt for hidden ducks in the community.
