Service-based business? No downtown storefront? No problem!
The Business Showcase transforms the Old Fire Hall into a pop-up marketplace, giving local businesses without a downtown storefront the opportunity to showcase their products and services, meet new customers, and connect with the community.
A great opportunity to get your business in front of downtown shoppers in a fun, welcoming setting.

One of YAW’s most-loved events! Sip ‘n Shop invites Yukoners to make their way around participating businesses for an evening of shopping, sipping, snacking, and discovering local.
Participating businesses simply offer a little something to sip or snack on—coffee, tea, sparkling water, wine, treats, appetizers, or whatever works for your space. Add a special offer or promotion if you’d like, but it’s completely optional.
Thursday, October 22 - Saturday, October 24
The QR Code Passport Contest Using your business profile in the Buy Local YT App, Yukoners will know which businesses are participating in the QR Code Passport Contest, they will find you, and scan your unique QR code supplied by the Whitehorse Chamber. Each location scan = one entry into the grand prize draw, encouraging people to explore the local business community and visit more spots!
BONUS ENTRIES:
For participating businesses off main street, each scan will count as 2 prize draw entries!
BONUS FOR BUSINESSES: After the event, each business participating in the QR Code Passport Contest will recieve a list of email contacts from those who visited their store - providing a great lead generation tool.
Saturday, October 24
The Community Concert brings Yukoners together for a free evening of live music—and brings plenty of extra energy to our downtown core.
For local businesses, it’s a great opportunity to welcome concert-goers before and after the show. Consider adding a little something special for the evening, whether it’s a pre-concert offer, grab-and-go bites, extended hours, or a post-concert drink or snack special.
Make the most of the extra foot traffic and give concert-goers a reason to make a night of it downtown.
