Join the Small Business Administration (SBA), Mayor Gavin Newsom, Small Business Commission, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, and many more as we celebrate Small Business Week in San Francisco and turn our outlook from survive to thrive!

This national celebration honors the spirit and impact of small businesses. We host a wide array of events that honor those who make our community unique by hosting a wide range of events that inspire, educate and connect us.

On May 16, merchants all over San Francisco will hold sidewalk sales in more than 18 different neighborhoods to show off the style, creativity and plain old neat stuff that you'll find throughout San Francisco's local business corridors.

On May 18, we have our Gala Kick-off, Flavors of San Francisco, hosted by the Office of Small Business Assistance, SBA, Chamber of Commerce and Wells Fargo. The great networking event also includes a resource fair, awards ceremony, and highlights some of the unique City's restaurants and lounges.

All week long we host free workshops on technology, marketing, finance and green business; networking events and expos to help you access resources, make connections and thrive in 2009!
