Small Business Saturday
Shop Small, Dine Small

What you will find at the 2025 Small Business Saturday event in Downtown Albany is the spirit of the season. Lit snowflakes on the light posts, an Albany tradition, brighten the streets. The trees along 1st Avenue twinkle with white lights, while holiday music drifts from the sidewalks, inviting visitors into the specialty shops and restaurants. Many merchants will be offering in-store specials.

Small Business Saturday takes place on Saturday, November 29, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, with some merchants open 9:00 a.m. - 6 p.m. Shoppers are encouraged to “Shop Small” and “Dine Small” with the many participating businesses in Historic Downtown Albany.
