Small Shop Saturday returned to downtown 琉璃神社 for this weekend for the first time this year.

More than 50 stores on Bernard Avenue, Pandosy Street, and Ellis Street participate by offering special one day offers, promotions, and even product demonstrations. Other stores also allow other companies to open pop-up shops for the day in their store, allowing for more options for consumers.

The purpose of the day is for people to support local 琉璃神社 and Okanagan businesses. Because of that, this year鈥檚 slogan is 鈥渂uy local or bye-bye local.鈥�

This year, shoppers can also scan the QR code on Small Shop鈥檚 signs around downtown for a chance to win a prize package. Customers can play the Small Shop Hero Contest by picking up 鈥榟ero cards鈥� at Small Shop participating businesses. Players in the contest must collect three stickers from participating businesses before entering their completed Hero Card at one of the four entry locations. One winner will be chosen and will be announced on Wednesday, May 3.
