IndieNashGiving is a homegrown movement that takes place in Nashville on Small Business Saturday — the Saturday after Thanksgiving — when shoppers are encouraged to support local businesses. This Small Business Saturday, a group of independent Nashville businesses will go one step further and demonstrate the impact shopping local can have on our city.

When you're out and about on Small Business Saturday (November 30, 2019), be sure to visit some of Nashville's best businesses — from boutiques to salons, from restaurants to coffee shops. Look how far the ripple effect can go when you shop local! You'll get fabulous goods and services; your dollars will fuel the local economy; and you'll have a direct impact on those most in need in our community. Doesn't that feel good?
