You’re probably familiar with Small Business Saturday, but did you know about Pajama Shopping Day in Kennebunk? It’s a special version of the small business holiday that not only encourages visitors and residents to shop locally but to do so in their pajamas. For real.
Part of the kickoff for Kennebunkport Prelude, this year Pajama Shopping Day in Kennebunk is Saturday, November 25. Then, the day ends with the Kennebunk tree lighting, in downtown.
Here are ideas if you’re interested in getting matching holiday PJs to wear for this shopping event.
Who created Pajama Shopping Day
The brains behind this Kennebunk shopping holiday is the Kennebunk – Kennebunkport – Arundel Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to encouraging you to shop locally and in your pajamas, you can save money, too. That’s because dozens of businesses in the three towns have created deals that are exclusive for Small Business Saturday aka Pajama Shopping Day.
As of this writing, here are the places you can go to shop in your pajamas and find a deal, too. We’ve included links directly to each business.

Final thoughts on Pajama Shopping Day in Kennebunk
We grabbed the information we’ve shared here from the Chamber website. I would suggest checking it in the run-up to Small Business Saturday so you can see the latest deals as they get added. I’m sure there will be a ton more.
