Celebrate Pink Friday in Abilene: Support Small Businesses on November 22!

Get ready to think pink and shop local! Pink Friday is a nationwide movement dedicated to celebrating the small and local businesses that make our community shine. Taking place on Friday, November 22—just one week before the holiday shopping frenzy of Black Friday—Pink Friday encourages all of us to invest in our local economy, support our neighbors, and discover all Abilene, Kansas has to offer.

Why Pink Friday Matters

Established in 2020, Pink Friday was created to uplift the small business community by reminding shoppers to prioritize local retailers for their holiday needs. By choosing to shop small first, you’re not just finding unique gifts—you’re supporting the vibrancy and diversity of our local economy. Every purchase you make helps sustain our community’s independent shops, create local jobs, and keep Abilene a thriving, exciting place to visit and live.
