Check out our event recap & discover your new favorite brands!

Jan 01, 2025

Dear Community,

I want to sincerely thank everyone who came out to support our inaugural event, The Holiday Hustle: A Celebration of Black-Owned Businesses in Philadelphia!

Together, we were able to create a space for local small businesses to take the spotlight and provide a last-minute holiday shopping experience for attendees.

2024 was a challenging year for many business owners, but community was always the thing that kept us going.

I’d like to offer a special shout out to ArPlans, our beautiful volunteers, VestedIn’s B-Smart Entrepreneurship Program, and CIC Philadelphia for helping make the event a huge success.

We hope you’ll continue to explore and support each of the vendors and artists highlighted below. They’re small businesses today, and they can only get bigger with your ongoing patronage.
