Small Business Week 2026 Kickoff

​Newark Small Business Week is here — and we're kicking it off the right way.

​Join us Monday evening to officially open one of Essex County's most anticipated weeks of the year. This is the moment where founders, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community members come together before the week begins — to connect, celebrate, and set the tone for what's ahead.

​No agenda. No panels. Just good people, good energy, and the kind of conversations that happen when you put a room full of builders together.

​Come meet the people you'll be seeing all week. Come find your next collaborator, your next customer, your next connection. Come ready to show up for Newark's small business community, because this week belongs to all of us.
