What is Plaid Friday?
Plaid Friday was created in Oakland, CA. 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 to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.
*Plaid Friday is a joint effort of Old Town Business, the Old Town Boutique District and the King Street Corridor Initiative.
