Twelve Days of Downtown Deals sponsored by STCU
From December 12 through 23, DSP will be highlighting a different promotion each day taking place at a downtown business. Promotions may be for that day only, or ongoing, we just want to help get bodies through your door.
Contact DSP with any deals, discounts or promotions your business is interested in having featured, and we'll help spread the word. When participants visit your business on the day the deal is being highlighted, they'll be eligible to enter into a cash prize drawing as a thanks for supporting local business.
Holiday Display Contest
Show off your holiday spirit and join the first-ever Downtown Holiday Display Contest.

The most creative displays, chosen by public vote, will earn top honors—and $500 in advertising value from Visit Spokane (plus major bragging rights).
