Ocean Beach, CA–The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association (OBMA) is announcing the return of its annual Shop Small campaign, kicking off with Shop Small Saturday on November 29.
Shop Small Saturday, a holiday shopping season kickoff event, was established by American Express in 2010. This event showcases the diverse range of small businesses in Ocean Beach. The Ocean Beach MainStreet Association emphasizes the importance of supporting these businesses for the jobs they create and the unique culture they foster within the community. The shopping event is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Shoppers who spend $50 or more in Ocean Beach can visit the OBMA Welcome Booth at Veterans Plaza Park, 1900 Ocean Front Way, to spin a prize wheel for a chance to win local swag, gift cards, and other giveaways. The booth will also provide information on upcoming holiday events and activities, offering a convenient stop for those looking to stay connected with the OB community throughout the season.
To add to the fun, visitors are encouraged to take a photo with friends and family at the “OB 92107” photo opportunity, located next to the OBMA Welcome Booth.
OBeachy Bingo will also launch on Shop Small Saturday. Shoppers can visit the OBMA Welcome Booth to pick up the OBeachy Bingo card and search for the flock of “OB Parrots” hidden in 96 participating businesses throughout Ocean Beach. Completed bingo cards must be turned in by December 19 for a chance to win even more prizes from the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association.
While Shop Small Saturday is a significant highlight of the holiday season, OBMA encourages everyone to continue supporting local businesses. Shopping local year-round not only strengthens the community but also preserves the unique character and charm that make Ocean Beach a special place to live, work, and visit.
