The name Plaid Friday was conceived from the idea of weaving the individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses. Plaid Friday is the relaxing and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday,” and is designed promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.
Plaid Friday was conceptualized in 2009 in Oakland, CA, a city known for strong shop local campaigns. Plaid Friday is now a nationally recognized event with Cities and towns participating all over the country.
