Plaid Friday
Plaid Friday celebrates the diversity and creativity of local and independent businesses
Plaid Friday is Downtown Nashua's celebration of small business and local shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Patrons receive special offers, giveaways, and festive deals all for wearing their favorite plaid apparell. It’s a community-focused alternative to big box sales that highlights unique stores, local makers, and neighborhood favorites. Each year, the first 100 shoppers to hit our Plaid Friday HQ get a commemorative tote with goodies from our local businesses.
This holiday season, skip the mall and shop small in Downtown Nashua!
Thank you to our 2025 participating businesses!
