Celebrating the Heart of Our Community During Small Business Week

Last updated on May 05, 2025

Downtown Orlando thrives because of the small businesses that bring energy, innovation, and unique experiences to our community. From cozy cafés and family-owned businesses to creative studios and local service providers, small businesses make our downtown a vibrant place to work, live, and play. 

This Small Business Week (May 4-10, 2025), let’s celebrate the entrepreneurs and small business owners who help shape downtown’s economy. Here’s how you can get involved: 

Shop, Dine & Experience Local 

Make it a point to visit your favorite downtown spots or discover new ones. Whether you’re grabbing coffee from a local café, dining at an independently owned restaurant, or browsing a boutique, every dollar spent downtown supports our local economy.  

Show Your Support Online 

Help spread the word! Give a shout-out to your favorite downtown small business by tagging them on social media, leaving a positive review, or sharing your experience using #DTOSmallBizWeek. Your recommendation could introduce someone new to a great local spot! 

Connect with Downtown’s Business Community 

Small businesses thrive when the community comes together. Supporting small businesses is an investment in the future of downtown Orlando.  

Let’s show up, shop local, and celebrate the businesses that make our city one of a kind!
