Business Improvement District launches “Sunsational Summer” promotion

Shopping Spectacular in Downtown Durango set for Friday-Sunday, May 9-11


Durango, CO – Summer is starting early in the Durango Business Improvement District (BID), as the BID kicks off the “Sunsational Summer” marketing promotion, highlighting events in and around Durango this May-June-July-August.

Of key focus in May is the “Shopping Spectacular,” encouraging folks to shop Durango’s unique retail stores for that special Mother’s Day gift. Shopping Spectacular runs May 9-11. Seventeen shops (as of press time) will be celebrating Mother’s Day with sidewalk promotions and entertainment. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11.

“A mission of the BID is to help enhance the economic vitality in the district,” said Tim Walsworth, BID executive director. “That means, in part, increasing activity. Sunsational Summer and this week’s Shopping Spectacular is all about that. We’re looking forward to folks coming Downtown this Friday, Saturday and Sunday to find a unique gift for Mom.”

Merchants participating in the “Shopping Spectacular” this week are Animas Trading Company, Beads and Beyond, Dolce Boutique, Durango Antique Market, Durango Olive Oil Company, Earthen Vessel Gallery, Inferno Board Shop, Kroeger’s Ace Hardware, Maria’s Bookshop, Renae Marie Apparel and Gifts, Rose Pedals, Silk Sparrow, Southwest Sound, Spaaah Shop, There’s No Place Like Home, Urban Market, and YESS The Book Hutch.

“And if you don’t quite get around to buying a gift in advance,” adds Walsworth, “remember Sunday brunch in Downtown Durango is always a great option. Then afterwards you can stroll Downtown and visit your mother’s favorite shops. Do it for Mom.”
