Come home for the holidays and shop small in downtown Washington! Shop Small Business Saturday encourages visitors to support local merchants through exclusive sales, giveaways, treats, and festive experiences. Shoppers earn raffle tickets for every $10 spent and bring them to the Discover Downtown Washington hub to enter themed raffle baskets curated by downtown businesses. After shopping, visitors can warm up with lunch in one of our popular heated igloo rentals—keeping shoppers downtown longer and spending more locally.
