Over the past decade, Shop Small Saturdays have been established as a South End tradition. This year’s edition arrives on Nov. 26, with open-air shopping markets popping up alongside existing retail sites, from on Camden Road, inside Atherton Mill, and at the Shops at The Winnifred. And with the Shop Small Hero Card, spending locally comes with big prizes.

Shop Small Hero Cards can be found at each of the Shop Small Saturday events’ welcome tents or participating businesses. If more than $10 is spent at a participating vendor, visitors get a sticker on their card. Once 5 stickers are collected, the card can be turned in at one of the designated drop-off spots. More than 480 were redeemed last year, translating to $24,000 spent at Charlotte-based small businesses.
