Shop local and take the #5onMain Holiday Challenge!

Nov 30, 2015

The Boston Redevelopment Authority is proud to be supporting Mayor Martin J. Walsh’s #5onMain Holiday Challenge.

To help local businesses during the holiday season, Mayor Walsh has challenged shoppers to buy from neighborhood stores and restaurants at least five times during the coming weeks. The “Five on Main” challenge runs from November 21 through January 1, 2016 (and beyond!)

Holiday shoppers are encouraged to share photos of their purchases or just check in to stores to show their support via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook using the hashtag #5onMain. City staff will be monitoring these hashtags and retweeting creative ideas. For more information, visit: http://bit.ly/5onMainRules.

We’ll be out there shopping, and we hope you will be too! Support local businesses and take the #5onMain Challenge!
