Small Business Saturday

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, downtown Waconia joins the national Small Business Saturday movement with specials, promotions, and holiday cheer at its independent shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Coming the day after the Tree Lighting in the Park, it turns Thanksgiving weekend into a full downtown holiday kickoff: browse the boutiques, grab lunch or coffee on Main Street, and knock out holiday gifts while keeping your dollars in town. Pair it with Pink Friday (the shop-small Friday one week before Black Friday) and D.E.A.R. Hunting Day earlier in the month and you can finish your whole list without leaving Waconia.
