Mark your calendar for the day after Thanksgiving — November 29th – and wear your plaid and celebrate the diversity and creativity of local and independent businesses in Winslow and across Bainbridge.
The Bainbridge Island Downtown Association welcomes you to shop locally over the holidays! The name ‘Plaid Friday’ was chosen from the idea of weaving individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that fosters and honors independent businesses. We can’t wait to see you all out and about in plaids of all types!
