Boise, November 30, 2021 – Downtown Boise Association’s (DBA) Holidays in the City promotion is in full swing, with more events planned for this week. City Santa returns to D.L.Evans Bank and December’s First Thursday will bring carolers, in-store events, and promotions in select shops in Downtown Boise.
City Santa
December 2, 5-8p.m., Saturdays, December 4, 11, & 18, 10a.m.-2p.m.
City Santa is a long-standing tradition in Downtown Boise. This year the jolliest of elves returns for in-person visits at the D.L. Evans Bank Downtown Branch at 9th and Main Street, after a hiatus in 2020 due to COVID. Visits are on a first come, first served basis. Guests should plan to dress warmly, in the event that a line forms outside. Masks will be required for anyone over the age of two years old and visits will be socially distanced. Guests should bring a camera or a phone to take their own pictures. This event supports the Women’s and Children’s Alliance – donations are welcome and appreciated.
First Thursday
December 2, 5-9p.m.
Downtown Boise businesses are geared up for the holiday season with a unique selection of goods and services. Visit the First Thursday page at downtownboise.org to see listings of individual in-store promotions and plan to make a night of it. The Boise Women's Chorus and the Boise Gay Men’s Chorus will be roaming throughout downtown for the evening singing holiday and Christmas carols, and the Holiday tree in The Grove Plaza is a prime photo opportunity. Additionally, many locations have decorated their storefronts for the Winter Window Walk and voting for favorite displays remains open through December.
