SHOP SMALL – Hilltop Edition

Shop Small Saturday – Hilltop Edition

Shop Small Saturday in the Hilltop is more than a shopping day — it’s a community movement. Each year, Hilltop Campus Village rallies residents, students, and business supporters to make intentional, local purchases that directly strengthen the small businesses that give our neighborhood its character and vitality.

This year, Hilltop’s Shop Small campaign expands into a full week of activity, distributing Hilltop Bucks and connecting directly with the people who live, study, and shop here. These efforts ensure local dollars stay local — supporting independent retailers, service providers, and entrepreneurs throughout the district.
