Help make Small Business Saturday a success

It's always a good time to support small businesses! Celebrate "Mainstreet" on Small Business Saturday, November 28th, 2026. Shop and dine all day long in Carlsbad Village to show your support for these amazing solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and enduring family businesses. Because . . . what would life be like without them?

We're celebrating downtown and you're invited!

The Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) has a wonderful celebration program planned for you with generous door prize drawing opportunities, including restaurant gift cards (courtesy of CVA) and retail gift cards (courtesy of generous businesses in the Village). No purchase is necessary.

Have some fun with our Village Scavenger Hunt and get an opportunity to enter our Grand Prize drawing! Stay tuned for more information as we move this event to the Village Faire Shopping Center (300 Carlsbad Village Drive) courtyard for an all-new look and feel. Free canvas tote bags (qty. 100) while supplies last. Recycled bags courtesy of the City of Carlsbad while supplies last.

Spend the Whole Day in the Village

Public parking is plentiful in the Village, and the beach is only two blocks away. Discover and support the many casual and fine dining establishments as well as boutiques, salons, and galleries all day long!

Come shop small with us in Carlsbad Village and know that you are making a difference to so many every time you do! Your local dollars make a lasting impact.
