DOWNTOWN DELRAY CELEBRATES SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY WITH NEW HOLIDAY REWARDS PASS

Kick off Your Holiday Shopping in Downtown Delray on Shop Small Saturday – November 29, 2025

DELRAY BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, November 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is inviting shoppers to experience the magic of shopping small this holiday season during Small Business Saturday on November 29, 2025. And this year, there’s a brand-new way to celebrate and support small, independently owned shops in Downtown Delray.

Introducing the Downtown Delray Shop Small Holiday Rewards Pass, a new, mobile-exclusive rewards program (no app required!) that makes it easier than ever to support local businesses. Shoppers can sign up online, check in at participating retail shops, earn points and redeem for retail gift cards just by shopping local.

With more than 125 retail shops, 96% of which are independently owned, Downtown Delray offers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience bursting with personality, creativity, and charm - the kind of authenticity you simply can’t find in big-box stores.

“Small businesses are the heart and soul of Downtown Delray Beach,” said Laura Simon, Executive Director of the Delray Beach DDA. “They’re not just places to shop. They’re our neighbors, our friends, and the creative energy that defines our Village by the Sea. The new Rewards Pass is a fun way to celebrate them while giving shoppers a little something back for supporting local.”
