Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country. Founded by American Express in 2010, this day is celebrated every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Broad Community Connections, WWOZ 90.7 FM, and the Stay Local krewe along with Soul NOLA Brass Band danced their way to four trailblazing businesses on historic Bayou Road. Plus, Brandan “BMike” Odums, the artist behind Exhibit Be, unveiled his latest piece honoring community roots and local businesses.
Shop Small Santa handed out swag including gift certificates to some of our favorite local shops and NOLA ChristmasFest tickets!
The NOLA Cherry Bombs know that small businesses on Bayou Road are where it’s at.

Bayou Road is a great place to get local flavor through local businesses.
Lots of folks enjoyed a fun second line parade on Bayou Road.

Once again, Small Business Saturday was a day to remember.
Thank you for coming out to Shop Small® and showing your love for the
small businesses in our community.
