Downtown Santa Barbara is also suggesting local residents buy gift cards, shop in person or online, dine out or order take out to support local businesses this holiday season.
Residents can also add local wine and beer to the holiday list, post about local purchases on social media and tag the business and take Small Business Saturday, planned for today, to stock up on gifts for the family.
Digital pop-up shopping events are also in December’s future, and details will soon be posted on Downtown Santa Barbara’s website, www.downtownsb.org.
