• Friday, November 29, is the opening day of Basilica Farm & Flea Holiday Market, the antidote to big box Black Friday. The market opens on Friday at 10 a.m. and continues on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, click here.

• Saturday, November 30, is Small Business Saturday. The Hudson Farmers Market is marking the day by moving to its winter location at the Hudson Elks Lodge, 201 Harry Howard Avenue. The market will be open from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. In the past, the Hudson Farmers Market has taken the Saturday after Thanksgiving off, reopening at its indoor location on the first Saturday in December. This year, the market is experimenting with being open every Saturday year round. Show your support and celebrate Small Business Saturday by shopping at the Hudson Farmers Market this Saturday.
