Shop the Village is Paulding’s annual holiday shopping event, transforming downtown into a festive marketplace filled with local makers, small businesses, and community traditions. Each year, businesses and storefronts welcome vendors from across the area—along with youth entrepreneurs from the NextGen Youth Artisan Market and the Youth Business Showcase—creating a celebration of creativity, community, and commerce.

Shoppers enjoy in-store specials, handmade goods, holiday treats, and the chance to explore Paulding in a whole new way. The Chamber distributes free shopping totes packed with discounts and local swag, and businesses across town offer special promotions to mark the day.

Whether you’re discovering a new favorite shop or revisiting long-time local businesses, Shop the Village celebrates everything that makes Paulding unique: local talent, local heart, and local pride.

Stay tuned for details about 2026 Shop the Village to be announced soon.
