Who we are

The Shop Small Crawl began in 2019 with a simple yet powerful mission: to celebrate and support the vibrant small business community in Corpus Christi. What started as a grassroots effort by a group of passionate local business owners has grown into a beloved annual event that continues to bring our community together.

Since our inaugural event, the Shop Small Crawl has become more than just a day of shopping—it's a movement. Each year, we aim to highlight the incredible talent, creativity, and hard work of Corpus Christi's small businesses. We believe that supporting local is not just a trend, but a way to build a stronger, more connected community.

In 2024, we're bringing the Shop Small Crawl back with even more excitement, energy, and opportunities to discover the best of what Corpus Christi has to offer. Our mission remains the same: to provide a unique and enjoyable shopping experience that champions the small businesses that make our city special.

We invite you to join us as we continue this tradition of local love. Whether you're a longtime supporter or new to the Crawl, we welcome you to be a part of this journey. Together, let's celebrate the heart and soul of Corpus Christi—our small businesses.
