About Shop Small Saturday
Downtown Macon boasts 32 retailers, 52 restaurants, 6 art galleries, 33 bars and entertainment venues, and 5 historic theaters. All are locally owned and operated.
When you shop local, you're supporting your fellow community members. For every $100 spent with a locally owned business, $68 stays in the community. Purchasing a record at your local vinyl shop, a pair of shoes at your neighborhood boutique, or a burger at or your favorite dive is tiny investment in your community and offers a completely unique experience.
Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving. As you make plans for your year-end gifts, consider NewTown Macon. For 25 years, NewTown has been providing Macon with leadership, planning, and support, and the community of Macon has responded by investing over $842 million to improve downtown. Keep the momentum going by making a donation to NewTown Macon today!
