Passport to Black-owned Businesses Event

Celebrate Small Business Saturday with us at Black-owned businesses around Cambridge and Somerville!

In celebration of Small Business Saturday, the Cambridge-Somerville Black Business Network (CSBBN), the Sustainable Business Network of MA (SBN), and Cambridge Local First (CLF) are holding the second Passport to Black-owned Businesses Event on Saturday, November 27. An exciting combination of bingo and trivia, this event will encourage community members to interact with and support Black-owned, local businesses in Cambridge and Somerville. We will provide everything you need to participate!

Each participating business will be listed here as well as on an interactive and downloadable map. The businesses will each have a page in the “passport”. Participants will ask the business owner or employee a trivia question in order to get their passport stamped by the business.

You can download your passport from this webpage or pick one up at any participating business on the day of the event. A grand prize made up of items from the vendors will be raffled off to participating customers. To enter the raffle, email the answers to at least three of the trivia questions or send proof that you have participated virtually to allison@sbnmass.org.

The grand prize will be a gift basket featuring gift certificates or items from Artifact Soapworks, Nussli118º, Girls Chronically Rock, B. Royal Boutique, Ms. Bonafide Creations & Yoga, Mumu's Pikliz, iLoveFGC, and Stinky's Kittens & Doggies Too!

Everyone is welcome to participate in this hybrid event! To take part, view the rules below and stay tuned for the full list of participating businesses.
