On Saturday, November 25, #DTJax invites you to join us for Small Business Saturday! This year, don’t just shop small for our local businesses, do it for the businesses you love, for the community you call home and for the money that can stay in the neighborhood when we all #ShopSmall. If you are a Downtown business who would like to participate, please contact Ari Sinudom at ari@dtjax.org.
