🛍️ Shop Small Stafford 2025
Saturday, November 29, 2025
Join us for a countywide celebration of local businesses this Shop Small Saturday! This November 29th, Stafford County is coming together to Shop Small, Support Local, and Win Big during Shop Small Stafford — a community-wide initiative led by the Stafford County Department of Economic Development. Whether you’re a local shopper, a small business owner, or a visitor exploring Stafford, this event is your opportunity to invest in our community, discover hidden gems, and strengthen the local economy — all while having fun!
Why Shop Small?
When you shop local, your dollars make a difference. For every $1 spent at a small business, $0.68 stays in the community — helping to fund local jobs, schools, parks, and public services right here in Stafford County. By choosing to shop small, you’re not just buying a product or service — you’re investing in your neighbors, your community, and Stafford’s future. With over 5,000 local businesses calling Stafford home, there’s no shortage of ways to support local this holiday season!
