Usher in the joy of the holiday season at Stanley Marketplace, the urban food hall, marketplace and small-business collective on Small Business Saturday, November 25, 2023. The celebration is more than just shopping — it’s an experience, with a day full of festive events and activities at the historic former aviation factory.

Small Business Saturday at Stanley also includes events and experiences all day long, like live music and entertainment, festive interior and exterior light decorations, family-friendly silent disco, a Tour of Trees decorated and displayed indoors for the season by Stanley businesses, a Giving Tree benefiting the community and neighbors, the Letters to Santa Mailbox, and a locally-owned and operated Christmas Tree Farm.
Support and celebrate all the small, independent and family-owned at Stanley Marketplace, where you can find everything from fashion to toys to books, gear, services, all under one roof to check off your lists. Fun fact: Each of Stanley’s 50+ businesses is independently, locally-owned!
And as a bonus: Stanley Marketplace’s common consumption policy allows adult-beverage sipping in the marketplace while enjoying the magic of the season.
