On Saturday August 27th, from 1-6pm, the “Think Big Shop Small” Delmar Black Business Expo will offer hundreds of unique products and services to shoppers, as well as support and mentorship to current and aspiring entrepreneurs, in celebration of Black Business Month.
The expo will take place both indoors and outdoors along Delmar Boulevard, beginning at AAA Fish House (5816 Delmar). Over 60 vendors in booths and 30 Delmar businesses will be offering their unique goods and services.
