Description

Shop local. Give back. Make an impact.

Kick off the holiday shopping season with a purpose during the inaugural Shop Your Community Day in Downtown Ludington!

For one day only, participating downtown businesses will donate 10% of the day’s sales to support Mason County nonprofits. Every purchase you make helps strengthen a local business while giving back to organizations that make our community a better place to live, work, and play.

Pick up your Shop Your Community Passport and spend the day exploring downtown! Your passport includes a guide to participating businesses and all of the details for a successful and impactful day in Downtown Ludington.

With every qualifying purchase at a participating business, you’ll also receive a prize ticket to enter into drawings for several large prize packages of Downtown Dollars – perfect for holiday shopping and gifting! The more you shop, the more chances you’ll have to win!

Whether you’re searching for the perfect holiday gift, treating yourself to something special, or simply enjoying a day downtown, you’ll discover:

• Unique boutiques and specialty shops
• Books, clothing, shoes, jewelry, artwork, home décor, and gifts
• Delicious baked goods, coffee, and sweet treats
• Friendly local business owners and one-of-a-kind shopping experiences

Held just a few weeks before Small Business Saturday, Shop Your Community Day is the perfect opportunity to start your holiday shopping early while supporting the local businesses and nonprofits that help Mason County thrive.
