The annual Shop Small campaign by the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association has returned, of course, and held its kick off last Saturday along Newport Avenue.
Kristen Keltner, OBMA’s events and program manager, said the Association not only “encourages locals and visitors alike” to shop in OB but also wants people “to enjoy the holiday spirit and what small towns like Ocean Beach have to offer.”
What are some of those unique finds? Keltner points to the holiday decorations on light posts in the downtown business district and Christmas photo opportunities with the Pacific Ocean or the “Happy Holiday OB” banner, draped across the 4900 block of Newport Avenue, as a backdrop.
Then there’s the OB Christmas Tree, scheduled to appear today, Tuesday, Dec. 2.
What’s dubbed Shop Small Saturday in Ocean Beach is part of the movement known as Small Business Saturday, which follows Black Friday at the beginning of the post-Thanksgiving holiday shopping season.
