Sanibel’s small businesses will come together to present Shop, Dine & Shine on Sanibel, a communitywide celebration taking place on Small Business Saturday on Nov. 29.
Participating plazas, shops and restaurants will feature holiday shopping and exclusive specials. They will offer their own festive touches — treats, music, holiday decor, and joyful in-store experiences.
“This event is about the heart of Sanibel: neighbors supporting neighbors, visitors experiencing the charm of local shops, and families making holiday memories on an island that still feels like home,” organizers shared.
Participants have also created a “Support Local, Win Big!” raffle. For every purchase at participating businesses, shoppers will earn one raffle entry toward a prize package. In addition to gift cards and merchandise from local shops and restaurants, this year’s grand prize will include a two-night stay at the Tarpon Tale Inn and the winner’s choice of a two-day Moke or golf cart rental, courtesy of the Moke & Cabana Club. Shoppers will also have opportunities to win multiple smaller prize packages.
Participants will include: Adventures in Paradise Outfitters, A Little Adventure, Beach Daisy, Blue Giraffe, Bubbly Latitude, Captiva Curio Cottage, Coast Clothing, Home by Rachel Pierce, Her Sports Closet, Jrod’s, MacIntosh Books + Paper, On Island, One Island Sanibel, Rachel Pierce Art Gallery, Sanibel Day Spa, Sanibel Pilates & Spa, Sanibel Sole, Shiny Objects, Suncatchers’ Dream, Synergy, The Bait Box, The Magic Bus Ice Cream & Caffeine, The Treehouse, Trader Rick’s, Vero Drapes, Wickies Lighthouse Restaurant, and Wilford & Lee Home Accents.
“For Sanibel’s small businesses — nearly all family-owned and deeply rooted in the island’s culture — every purchase is more than a transaction,” organizers shared. “It fuels the very businesses that pour back into this community all year long.”
Local shops and restaurants: sponsor school programs and classrooms; support youth sports teams; donate to island organizations, nonprofits and fundraising events; and show up for community needs.
“Small Business Saturday is a national movement, but here on Sanibel, it’s a celebration of the very people and places that invest in our community every single day,” organizers shared.
