Inaugural event downtown will highlight local businesses for residents and visitors.
FRAMINGHAM - The inaugural Framingham Business Trade Show will be taking place downtown on Saturday, September 7.
The event is being planned by Downtown Framingham, Inc. (DFI)—a nonprofit group aimed at supporting commerce based in Framingham—alongside city officials. More than 60 businesses from the area are slated to take part in the trade show, which will also feature entertainment, food, and more.
In an interview with The Frame, DFI Executive Director Read Shah said the event is being held as a way to engage consumers with local establishments in a new way.
“This event actually came as an idea from business owners,” DFI Executive Director Read Shah said in an interview with The Frame, “and they really wanted to showcase themselves and the downtown area.”
The event will take place at the downtown common along Concord Street from noon to 4 p.m.
“It’s something that (business owners) can build off of–not just another event for years to come, but they can build their consumers as a whole so that they have recurring consumers on a monthly, weekly, daily basis; whether it’s coffee, whether it’s chiropractic services, whether it’s shopping for new shoes or new clothing,” Shah continued.
“They’re building their consumer base as well.”
Additionally, the Framingham Public Library’s main location will be hosting their Spooktastic Book Fair from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. that same day. More than 40 horrors authors from across the country with works made for all ages will be present for signings and panel discussions, with refreshments also set to be provided.
