Shop Locally This Holiday Season
This holiday season, Cambridge partners with local businesses and business associations to encourage residents and visitors to shop locally this holiday season.
Celebrate our diverse small businesses and shop in Cambridge on Small Business Saturday - November 30, 2024 - and all season long. Want to find small retail businesses and restaurants in each commercial district? Our local Retail and Restaurant maps are available for download, making it easier than ever to discover and support local shops. When you shop local, more of your money stays within the community, supporting jobs, local services, and the unique character of Cambridge. So this Small Business Saturday (November 30th) and throughout the holiday season, explore the diverse range of shops and restaurants Cambridge has to offer. View and download maps below.
