The Small Business Commission of San Francisco recognizes both the benefits of keeping our spending close to home and our desire to buy cool stuff with its Shop Local First Week. All this week there are shopping opportunities and events focused on our small local businesses.

Tomorrow there's the The Renaissance Holiday Gift Fair (leave your lute behind, this is not that kind of Renaissance fair) and a holiday party/screening of at Varnish (77 Natoma) from 7-9:30.

More events are happening the rest of the week, see this page for the complete schedule.
