Why should you attend?
The Black Business Week Street Mall is a community event filled with energy and culture. The event serves as an opportunity to support economic empowerment and help break down historical barriers that have often limited the growth and success of Black-owned businesses.
Every dollar spent at the Street Mall directly supports participating entrepreneurs, whether attendees are purchasing food, merchandise, art, or professional services. By choosing to shop local and support Black-owned businesses, community members play an active role in strengthening the local economy and creating opportunities for long-term business growth.
Shop Northside is a West Broadway Business and Area Coalition initiative designed to uplift and invest in the North Minneapolis economy by encouraging residents and visitors alike to support local. Through annual events like Black Business Week’s Street Mall, Open Streets West Broadway, Black Friday on Broadway, and Small Business Saturday, we spotlight Northside entrepreneurs and provide accessible, low-cost vendor opportunities that help small businesses grow and thrive.
When you shop Northside, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re investing in the future of our community.
