Harvard Square Shopping Weekend 2021

Black/Plaid Friday and Small Business Saturday in Harvard Square

The merchandise in our fun and unique stores run the gamut from upscale clothing to vintage finery, cigars to gourmet food, books galore, jewelry and just about everything else in between!

The Harvard Square Business Association has joined the national trend that now commemorates the day after Thanksgiving as Plaid Friday. Nationally, Plaid Friday celebrates independently owned and operated businesses. We are proud that 70% of our businesses are locally-owned and independent. In addition, several larger retailers add to the dynamic shopping experience found here in Cambridge. Whether Plaid or Black, make Harvard Square your holiday shopping destination!
