May is Fairfax City Small Business Month, and the community is excited to celebrate the incredible businesses that make our city a vibrant place to live, shop, dine, and explore.
This year, we will also begin recognizing America’s 250th Anniversary, adding a fun and patriotic element to promotions and activities throughout the city.
With spring in full swing, it’s the perfect time to shop local for gifts—whether for Mother’s Day, graduations, or just because. From unique finds to memorable experiences, Fairfax City businesses make it easy to give something meaningful, including the option to purchase a Flex Card and let your recipient choose their favorite local spot.
Celebrate Fairfax City Small Business Month throughout May with a Flex Card Giveaway!
Follow us on @shopffxcity for weekly clues revealing the fox’s hiding spots in local shops. Spot the fox, and you could win up to a $250 Flex Card, redeemable at dozens of local businesses for shopping, dining, and services. We’ll be giving away $250 in Flex Cards each week, so keep an eye out and get ready to support Fairfax City’s amazing small businesses
