Plaid Friday 2025

Gail Offen and Jon Milan will be in the bookstore signing copies of their book, Classic Michigan Food and Drinks: The Stories Behind the Brands from 1:00-3:00.

We hope you will consider shopping small on Main Street on this busy shopping day!

Plaid Friday was initially organized in Oakland, Calif., in 2009. Back then, Plaid Friday, which takes place on the day after Thanksgiving, was intended to serve as a more laid-back alternative to Black Friday, a day that’s become as notorious for incidents threatening public safety as it has for great deals. Plaid Friday efforts promote locally owned small businesses and encourage residents to patronize these establishments as they begin their holiday shopping. Since 2009, Plaid Friday has caught on outside of Oakland, and many communities now embrace it.
