Fourth Friday

4th Friday Connections are a monthly meetup traveling to locally owned businesses all over Wake County! Join us for a morning of networking to connect with fellow small business professionals and hear the latest Shop Local Raleigh updates over a cup of coffee at one of our area’s local establishments.

Welcome Wednesday

Welcome Wednesdays are a monthly social and networking event that bring together Shop Local Raleigh members and guests while showcasing a different local establishment on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.

Independents Week

Independents Week (July 1-7) is an annual campaign, encompassing July 4, that engages local independent businesses and citizens in celebrating entrepreneurial spirit and the freedom our local businesses embody. Independents Week also is an occasion to recognize small businesses’ contributions to the community–and to affirm citizens’ role in shaping their community’s future.

The Indie Challenge

#IndieChallenge

The Indie Challenge is to try fulfilling all of one’s needs at local independent businesses for the week. Challenge yourself and your customers for one week in July to shop local and independent for the entire week! Let’s all be part of the #IndieChallenge and let’s see what kind of impact we can make in our community and the long term changes we can make in how consumers choose to spend their money.
