Shop Local. Shop the Cedar Valley.

Kick Off the Holidays with Live the Valley’s Shop Small Adventure!
This Shop Small Saturday, Live the Valley is bringing an exciting twist to the holiday season. We’re teaming up with the Cedar Falls Downtown District and Main Street Waterloo to inspire everyone in the Cedar Valley to explore, shop small, and support the incredible local businesses that make our communities shine.
What’s the Buzz About the Bags?
We’ve scattered 600 reusable shopping bags throughout downtown shops in Waterloo and Cedar Falls. While each bag is a festive reminder to shop local, 100 of them hold something a little extra special. Some lucky shoppers will uncover local treats, special offers, or even gift cards worth up to $100! Here’s the fun part: if you find a prize bag in Waterloo, it might include a gift card for a Cedar Falls shop, or the other way around! Local shops will distribute these bags on Shop Small Saturday, November 30, 2024.
Why This Initiative Matters
When you shop local, you are investing in the heart of our community. This initiative encourages residents to not only shop local but also explore the unique businesses across both Waterloo and Cedar Falls. By stepping into new stores, meeting local shop owners, and finding hidden treasures in our neighboring community, we’re creating connections across the Cedar Valley.
Get Out and Explore!
Whether you’re discovering a boutique in Cedar Falls or enjoying a café in Waterloo, you’re supporting the entrepreneurs who make our community thrive. So grab a friend, hit the streets, and join the adventure. Let’s make this holiday season unforgettable by shopping small, shopping local, and celebrating everything that makes the Cedar Valley a wonderful place to call home.
