DC Small Business Week 2026 is
May 3rd – 9th
(But we’ll be celebrating the entire month of May!)
We believe that small businesses are the heart of Washington, DC — fueling innovation, creating jobs, and building strong, vibrant communities across all eight wards.
While Small Business Week is nationally recognized in early May, we go bigger with #DCSmallBizMonth — a full month dedicated to celebrating the entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders who power DC’s economy and shape our city’s future.
Throughout May, The Coalition is proud to promote local events, share resources, and create opportunities for everyone to support, uplift, and engage with DC’s incredible small business community.
