About this event
Kick off the holiday shopping season by supporting local businesses during Westside Pink Friday! This year’s event spans two weekends, giving shoppers four days to explore 11 women-owned businesses across Cincinnati’s West Side. Shop during Preview Weekend, Nov. 13-14, or Pink Friday Weekend, Nov. 20-21, for unique gifts, apparel, home décor, self-care products and holiday essentials. Pick up a Pink Friday Shopping Passport at any participating location and collect stamps as you shop. Passports are valid both weekends, giving shoppers more time to visit participating businesses. Turn in a completed passport at the final stop for a chance to win the grand prize package, valued at $1,100. Partial passports also qualify for the gift card giveaway, with one entry awarded per stamp. Along the way, enjoy special promotions, giveaways, raffles and prizes while meeting the local women behind some of the Westside’s favorite businesses. Shop one weekend or both and make a difference by supporting small, locally owned businesses this holiday season!
Who's playing
The event is built around the shops themselves, all women-owned and all on the West Side. Shannon Visconti owns Shop Charbon and brought Pink Friday to the West Side. The boutique carries women's clothing, gifts, purses and accessories in sizes small to 3X.
What to expect
Shoppers pick up a Pink Friday Shopping Passport at any participating location and get it stamped as they go. Turning in a completed passport at the final stop enters you for the grand prize package, and partial passports earn one gift card giveaway entry per stamp. Along the way, expect special promotions, giveaways and raffles at the stores.
Why go
It is a practical way to shop small and local during the holiday season, with the chance to meet the women who run these shops. Shop Charbon's racks cover everyday pieces, gifts and accessories in one stop. You can make one weekend of it or both.
