Experience the spirit of the season
As the holiday season approaches, the magic of the Ticonderoga Area comes alive, sparkling lights, fresh snow, and the warm hospitality that defines our region. This year, we invite you to experience the spirit of the season by shopping and dining locally and supporting the small businesses that are the heart of our community.
Whether you're visiting from out of town or you're lucky enough to call this region home, there’s no better time to explore the charm, character, and artistry that our local shops and restaurants offer.
Small Business Saturday – November 29, 2025
Mark your calendars! Small Business Saturday is more than just a shopping day; it's a celebration of community.
Each purchase you make from a small business, artisan, or restaurant keeps dollars right here in the Ticonderoga Area. It helps create jobs, supports local families, and sustains the vibrant downtowns we all treasure. When you shop small, you’re not just buying a gift, you’re investing in the future of our community.
Local businesses will be offering:
-
Special promotions and discounts
-
Holiday gift ideas and seasonal merchandise
-
Festive in-store experiences
-
Chances to win prizes when you shop or dine locally
-
There will also be a DJ providing music on Montcalm Street and handing out prizes to shoppers
Keep an eye out for Small Business Saturday signage throughout town and be sure to pop into places you've never visited before…you might just find your new favorite shop.

Why Shopping Local Matters
When you shop at a small business, you’re not just helping that business thrive; you’re supporting the entire community. Here’s how:
-
Stronger Local Economy: More of your money stays in the area, circulating among local suppliers, services, and neighbors.
-
Unique Gifts: Our local artisans, shopkeepers, and creators offer one-of-a-kind products you won’t find anywhere else.
-
Community Investment: Small business owners are more likely to give back, sponsor local events, and support causes that matter to you.
