Celebrate Small Business Saturday in Carlsbad Village

~ November 29, 2025 ~

 

The holiday shopping season is approaching fast - it seems to arrive earlier every year, doesn’t it? Halloween is now a distant memory, and the Thanksgiving holiday is less than 2 weeks away.

 

This means the 16th annual Small Business Saturday in Carlsbad Village will be here before you know it.

 

The first Saturday following Thanksgiving is the traditional day to support small businesses throughout the US. And there are certainly plentiful opportunities in Carlsbad Village to #shopsmall.

 

Plenty of residents and visitors already support small businesses in Carlsbad but this is a special opportunity! And with the holiday shopping season upon us, that’s good news for shoppers.

 

Mark your calendar to #ShopSmall in Carlsbad Village on Saturday November 29th. You may be surprised at the variety our Carlsbad Village retailers have to offer, especially if you haven’t spent much time there. There are numerous options for holiday shopping.

 

The Carlsbad Village Association will be sponsoring a Small Business Saturday Celebration from 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. Check in at the Carlsbad Village Association booth at the corner of Grand Avenue and State Street for your free door prize ticket and receive a reusable tote bag while supplies last (100 will be available).

 

There will be almost $2000 in restaurant gift cards and retail gift cards. Multiple winners will be texted every 30 minutes between 11:30 and 3:30. Prizes should be claimed at the CVA booth by 4:00 pm.

 

In addition to all the Carlsbad Village retailers, there are multiple service providers (e.g., day spas, restaurants, art galleries, wine stores, and more) to enjoy. Who knows what special offerings you might find.

 

Small Business Saturday will also offer live music, a scavenger hunt, and lots of goodies.

 

Small Business Saturday 2025 will be a terrific opportunity to spend time in Carlsbad Village and do some holiday shopping, while supporting the small business movement in Carlsbad. You can expect lots of local merchants will be taking part, with discounts and specials to entice you!

 

#ShopSmall in Carlsbad Village on Saturday November 29! Plus it’s a great way to get some exercise after all that Thanksgiving food.

Jeff Dowler, CRS  The holiday has jumped up on us rather quickly. I can not believe it is almost Thanksgiving. The food stores are starting to get busy today. I was glad I did most of my shopping in the local farmers' market, as the big chain was so crowded, I left.

Hard to believe it's almost Thanksgiving, isn't it Hannah Williams

And yes, I have noticed more people out shopping, too and it will get even busier!

Enjoy your weekend!

Jeff Dowler, CRS small businesses can make or break a community, BUT they need our support along the way.

Good point George Souto  Support is key for community small businesses and this event (and no doubt others like it around the country) highlight that.

Good morning, Jeff... I love how Carlsbad supports small businesses and hopefully residents go out of their way to support them. Meantime, trust your recovery is moving along as well as can be expected.

Jeff Dowler, CRS

Thank you Nina Hollander, Broker  The Carlsbad Village Association does a great job of promoting events for the Village businesses, and residents always respond favorably. This is a popular shopping day.

Some days are better than others but we are making slow progress in the recovery.

I definitely prefer to support small businesses over the big corporations, so this is certainly something that I would participate in!

Small shops exist as they usually fer a level of products or service that cannot be gotten online or in the big box stores.

They are also living parts of the community and supporting them helps to maintain spirit and charm, and that may well be worth a couple of extra dollars, Jeff Dowler, CRS .

Well said, Ed Silva, 203-206-0754  These are great points!

Thank you for stopping by.

It is always wonderful to support local businesses. These are the backbone of our country and it can be a struggle to keep them going. Good for you on your blog reminding us of this.

You are so right about our small local businesses! They need our support.
