Small BusinessSaturday
The Saturday after Thanksgiving, downtown shops and makers set up along Main Street. Kick off the holidays where every dollar stays close to home.
What it is
The holidays start on Main Street.
Small Business Saturday is the day the country shops small, and downtown Moss Point does it right on Main Street. Local shops open their doors, makers set up along the district, and the River City kicks off holiday shopping where the storefronts still have names and faces behind them.
From Burnham’s soda fountain, downtown since 1902, to the newest maker’s booth, this is the day to find something one of a kind and keep your dollars close to home.
The case for local
Small shops, big impact.
According to American Express, about 67 cents of every dollar spent at a small business stays in the local community. Since American Express started Small Business Saturday in 2010, shoppers have driven more than $220 billion to small businesses on the day.
In a downtown Moss Point Main Street works every day to keep alive, that is not a statistic. It is the difference between a Main Street with the lights on and one without.

A downtown worth showing up for.
Moss Point Main Street is the nonprofit revitalizing the historic downtown riverfront district, and a nationally accredited Main Street America community. Small Business Saturday is one of the clearest expressions of that mission: a whole downtown, open and gathered, on the busiest shopping weekend of the year.
Explore who is open before you come, and make a day of it. The Escatawpa, the shops, and the soda fountain are all a short stroll apart.
