Nashville Buy Local Month 2020 is a shopping, arts and entertainment event from November 15th- December 15th. We wanted to give Middle Tennessee the chance to take those local dollars during the gift-giving season and keep them local (meaning with local merchants in Middle Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, and Northern Alabama since we know traveling does take place for these shopping trips). The key is to find the non-chain stores and shop the small to medium businesses in our area. We are also during this month via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter going to give HYPER-LOCAL giveaways (via social media) with local artists and businesses. Here are the events through the Buy Local Month during 2020.
