Shop Plaid

Plaid Friday was conceived from the idea of weaving the individual threads of small businesses together to create a strong fabric that celebrates the diversity and creativity of independent businesses.

Plaid Friday is the relaxing and enjoyable alternative to the big box store “Black Friday,” and is designed to promote both local and independently owned businesses during the holidays.

Plaid Friday strives to bring back the days when shopping for friends & family during the holidays was a pleasurable and leisurely activity.

Look for Plaid Friday banners at participating Downtown Astoria businesses. #ShopdowntownAstoria #Shoplocal #Plaidfriday #AstoriaOregon
