Small Business Week is almost here, and we’re gearing up to spread the local love.

We’ve partnered with some of Austin’s small businesses to celebrate the folks who make up the backbone of our local economy.

We have something special for our readers, too. We’ve created an interactive map of can’t-miss deals, self-improvement opportunities, and fun things to experience offered exclusively during Small Business Week.

Throughout the month, you can expect Q+A’s with local entrepreneurs that shine a light on what it’s like being a part of the Capital City’s small business community.

From enjoying buy one get one free from Maddie Green Boutique to attending a free community class at OutWellness, there will be plenty of ways to support ATX’s small businesses.
