Small Business Weekend Shines Bright in the Village of Yellow Springs
Small Business Weekend in Yellow Springs is here, bringing festive charm, community pride, and the perfect reason to explore one of Ohio’s must-visit destinations. The annual Yellow Friday and Small Business Saturday celebration returns with small town magic, inviting both residents and visitors to experience why Yellow Springs continues to be recognized as one of the best hometowns in the region, earning acclaim in places like Ohio Magazine.
As you stroll through downtown, you’ll find no shortage of amazing places to eat, sip, shop, and explore. From cozy cafés to locally owned boutiques, this weekend highlights the vibrant culture that makes Yellow Springs unforgettable. The YS Chamber is elevating the celebration this year with the launch of the Heart of the Business campaign, a spotlight series that showcases the incredible entrepreneurs who power the village’s creativity, hospitality, and innovation.
Small Business Weekend is more than a shopping event. It’s a celebration of community connection, local talent, and the spirit that defines Yellow Springs as a warm, welcoming, and thriving Ohio destination.
Adding to the fun is the return of a beloved tradition: the Local Cheer In Here Shop Local Yellow Bag. Back by popular demand, the Yellow Bag serves as your passport to engagement and excitement all weekend long. (Limited quantities available.)
Simply carry your bag, take a selfie at participating small businesses, and tag #YSSmallBusinessWeekend on social media. Participants will be entered to win great prizes including gift cards, Dayton Dragons merchandise, and more. Winners will be contacted through social media, making it easy, fun, and interactive for everyone involved. And as an added splash of “awesome,” each bag comes with a copy Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns: Yellow Springs Commemorative Edition.
So get ready for a memorable weekend. Grab your Yellow Bag, explore the village, support local shops, and snap those selfies. Small Business Weekend is here, and Yellow Springs is buzzing with energy, charm, and hometown pride.
