Downtown Bangor’s ‘Plaid Friday’ Shopping Event Is Tomorrow

Shop local this holiday season in the heart of Downtown Bangor!

This year, holiday shoppers can avoid the lines, stress, and the hunting for parking spots that come with the typical retail places on the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. Instead, why not sleep in and join the party in Downtown Bangor for "Plaid Friday" and small business Saturday shopping alternatives.

The name Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses. Plaid Friday is the fun and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday”, and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.

Celebrate by wearing plaid while shopping in Downtown on Friday, November 24th, starting at 7am!
