Since 2010, between Black Friday and Cyber Monday sits “Small Business Saturday”, a day dedicated to helping small businesses and their communities. Small Business Saturday will take place all day on November 25th in downtown Bozeman.
It’s a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and the community by helping boost the local economy. Downtown Bozeman and over 250 small businesses are proud to take part in Small Business Saturday, and we encourage everyone to “Shop Small” in downtown Bozeman and across the country on November 25th.
According to the Small Business Administration, Montana is home to 123,419 small businesses, employing 65% of the private workforce. While many businesses continue to recover from challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, our local businesses are relying on shoppers more than ever to “Shop Small” and shop local.

How to Shop Small?
- In addition to heading downtown on Saturday, November 25th, consider leaving a positive online review for your favorite downtown business!
- Shout it from the top of a mountain (or the M!). Word of mouth is an excellent way to alert friends and family about great places in downtown Bozeman – and while you’re at it, carpool and bring them with you on Saturday, November 25th.
- Order takeout directly from our fabulous downtown restaurants! Third party apps take a significant cut from a restaurant or café; instead, order directly from the website or over the phone.
- Visit your favorite retailer’s website to order online directly. Tons of downtown businesses have the option to order online and pick-up in person, saving you tons of time!
When we all shop small, it will be HUGE!
