The holiday season is here and small businesses, like Kimmie Candy, are preparing for the 14th annual Small Business Saturday.

Small business in Downtown Evansville participate in Shop Small Saturday with specific hours from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some local shops may be open earlier and later. Shoppers will be welcomed with bags, buttons and maps in front of 318 Main Street, while supplies last. There is also free street parking all around the downtown area.

Founders are working to reach consumers wherever they shop, with gift bundles, collaborations, behind-the-scenes peeks, and, of course, plenty of discounts.
