November 21, 2022

There is no time for more fitting to say thank you for your membership and continued support of the Shakopee Chamber & Visitors Bureau.

Small Business Saturday is November 26th


The holidays are all about giving – and the best gift you can give our local businesses is your support. When you Shop Small, the dollars you spend at the local businesses in our community can add up. You might not realize it, but every time you pick up a cup of coffee from your favorite neighborhood café or buy a gift from a local artist's online store, you're shopping small and making a BIG difference. Get out there and Shop Small this Small Business Saturday and kick off the holiday season in a meaningful way.
