Shop Silver Spring During Small Business Saturday

SILVER SPRING, MD — Big name national retailers take the spotlight on Black Friday as their deep price cuts pull in shoppers in droves. But what about those mom-and-pop businesses all over Silver Spring and beyond that are the backbone of America's economy? Just when do they get their day?

That's basically the question that was asked back in 2010 when the concept of Small Business Saturday was born. Locally owned business across the country now take part in Small Business Saturday, offering their own deals to rival those offered the day before on Black Friday.

Silver Spring residents can take part in the fun at the Small Business Saturday Community Fair at Blair High School from 12-6:30 p.m. The event features over 40 small business owners, free face painting from 1-4 p.m., a children's craft center, a holiday gift wrapping station and free professional headshots for small business owners.

This event is free to the public and located at 51 University Ave, Silver Spring.
