🛍️ Small Business Season™ Starts Now

From now through New Year’s Eve, communities make a point of choosing their local independents, with Small Business Saturday® on November 28 at the center. Babylon Local’s newest issue leads with it: where the tradition came from, why your dollar goes further at a local shop, and the first look at the Town of Babylon’s Business Class of 2026, the independents that opened their doors this year. It is a four-week series, and this is week one.
