Free Parking in Dearborn on Small Business Saturday

There’s one more reason to support your local businesses in Dearborn this Saturday. Parking will be free. 

Patch's “Park on Patch” campaign, in partnership with American Express, has selected Dearborn as one of 50 towns across the country to get free parking on Nov. 30 for Small Business Saturday. 

Free parking will be offered in parking lot "H" in west Dearborn from 12 p.m. to 3 a.m. The parking meters will be covered to identify the free parking spaces. The lot is located south of Michigan Avenue between Monroe and Mason streets.

The "Park on Patch" initiative is part of an ongoing effort by Patch and American Express to encourage people to shop locally in support of small businesses.

Created by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday is now in its fourth year. The annual event, which is celebrated between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, is an awesome way to support the small businesses that help make our neighborhoods great.  

According to the Small Business Saturday Insights Survey, consumers who were aware of Small Business Saturday in 2012 spent $5.5 billion with independently-owned businesses that day.

Celebrate small businesses again this year and shop local on Nov. 30. With all these incentives, there's no better reason to shop local this Saturday.
