The Wisconsin Black Chamber of Commerce is putting on “Black Friday Nights,” an event for the community, sponsored by the community. Designed to encourage residents to invest in local businesses and restaurants, “Black Friday Nights” will feature nearly 100 black vendors with gifts for sale, including handmade jewelry, ethnic-themed artwork, books, natural skincare products and more.

Vendors will be available at the following two locations:
