Holiday Shopping and Dining in Downtown Aiken (Updated)

UPDATED DECEMBER 14-15, 2023

Shopping downtown Aiken has always been a special part of the local Christmas tradition. In support of our small businesses — the heart and soul of the historic downtown — the Aiken Chronicles is featuring image galleries and website links to the dozens of shops and restaurants to offer previews of the downtown shopping experience.

Updates will be ongoing, as able. Note that many of these businesses also offer online shopping.
