SMALL BUSINESS WEEK
Small business owners account for 99.7% of all employers in the United States. For all that they do, we're spending National Small Business Week, May 4 - 8,  thanking business owners with free events and things to do in your neighborhood.
 
3 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK
ATTEND A SHOW
Watch an acoustic show in a restaurant, cheese cellar, or even a shoe store.
 
SHOP LOCAL
Visit stores in one of the 18 neighborhood shopping districts in Boston.
 
ROCK OUR PLAYLIST
Share our playlist of local #AcousticOnMain musicians at your next barbecue.
 
YOUR VOICES
Drew is one of 10 musicians playing at Brian's restaurant during #AcousticOnMain, a 10 day event celebrating small business owners and local musicians during which the City of Boston waived licenses and fees for acoustic performances. Hear what they both have to say about small businesses in Boston, and why you should catch a show from now until May 10. More
