12 Nov Small Business Saturday 2026
“First there was Black Friday. Then Cyber Monday. Now there is Small Business Saturday.” Support Ticonderoga Area businesses on Saturday, November 28th, 2026, for the 17th Annual Small Business Saturday, kicking off the 17th Annual Ticonderoga Area North Country Christmas Celebration. The Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce (TACC) is proud to continue participating in this nationwide initiative as an official Neighborhood Champion through American Express, providing resources and support to area businesses while encouraging the community to shop local. Small Business Saturday takes place each year on Thanksgiving weekend, between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when much of the holiday shopping season gets underway.
Join the festivities as participating businesses offer a variety of specials and promotions to celebrate the day and showcase the value of shopping local and supporting our community. Pick up a Small Business Saturday Passport for a chance to win great prizes while exploring local shops and eateries. Adding to the holiday spirit this year, the Candy Cane Quartet will be making their way around participating businesses, spreading holiday cheer and bringing a little extra music and festivity to the day from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. TACC is also excited to introduce TACC Holiday Lucky Bucks! Shoppers visiting participating businesses will have opportunities to receive a special winning ticket, with the participating business selecting its own lucky winner. Winners will receive a TACC Member gift certificate of their choice to enjoy at a local business. Come out, shop local, and be part of the fun!
To access the Small Business Saturday promotions and specials, be sure to get a copy of the 2026 TACC Small Business Saturday Specials & Promotions flyer. For a list of participating businesses, contact the Chamber, visit www.ticonderogany.com, or check out the TACC Facebook page.
Be sure to pick up your Small Business Saturday Passport from participating businesses or the Chamber as well. Complete your passport by making purchases at five participating businesses (obtaining stamps or signatures), then return your completed passport to the Chamber office by the deadline listed on the passport, December 11, 2026, for a chance to win a variety of local prizes. Be sure to include your name and phone number. Please note the stamps/signatures must be from participating TACC Members. Additional details and instructions will be included on the Small Business Saturday Passport.
“Small Business Saturday is one of those special traditions that reminds us just how much our local businesses mean to our communities. It takes a lot of people, businesses, and organizations working together to create the events and experiences that make our area special. From our participating businesses and community partners to the shoppers who choose to support them, everyone has a part in making this day a success. When we bring those efforts together, we create opportunities for our local businesses to shine and give our community even more reasons to shop, dine, and explore right here at home. We are excited to add TACC Holiday Lucky Bucks and the Candy Cane Quartet to this year’s celebration, and we encourage everyone to make a day of it! Every purchase, big or small, makes a difference and helps keep our local business community strong. Small Business Saturday is a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season, but our Think Local message is something we encourage everyone to carry with them all year long: Think Local! Shop! Spend! Support! Your Community – Your Future! We look forward to celebrating with everyone on November 28th,” stated Matthew Courtright, President & CEO of the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce.
Created by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday has grown into a nationwide movement celebrating and supporting small businesses across the country. It is the local community organizers, small business owners, and customers who make it one of the busiest and most meaningful shopping days of the year. Small businesses are the heartbeat of our communities: the corner stores that create jobs, the restaurants and retailers that strengthen our local economy, and the mom-and-pop shops that make our communities unique. The Shop Small Movement encourages people to support these businesses and give back to the places that give so much to their communities. Join us on November 28th and make a big impact by shopping small in the Ticonderoga Area!
The Chamber encourages everyone to support Ticonderoga Area businesses all year long.
