What exactly is Plaid Friday?

Plaid Friday is Alexandria’s Small Business Black Friday!  Shop a day after Thanksgiving event like no other in the DMV. More than 50 participating shops will offer huge deals and over 15 are open at 6 am for early morning shopping!

The first 2500 customers to shop in Alexandria will get this exclusive Shop Small. Shop Local. Shop ALX vinyl sticker.

WHY PLAID FRIDAY?

The name Plaid Friday comes from the idea of weaving the individual threads of small businesses together to create a unique fabric that highlights the diversity and creativity of independent shops. 

During our Plaid Friday event, we hope to create a pleasurable and leisurely experience for you while you shop for friends and family. And, if you happen to pick up a few things for yourself, we’ll never tell!

Join us in Old Town the day after Thanksgiving, and enjoy great discounts, merriment and good cheer, all while shopping small and supporting local businesses. Plaid Friday is proudly sponsored by Lauren Bishop of McEnearney Associates.
