Hello Newsletter Readers,


Happy March! It's that time of the year where downtown's tulips begin to sprout and forecasts report mostly (we do live in Colorado after all) blue skies. Be sure to adjust your clocks to spring forward this Sunday, March 10th for Daylight Savings.


Downtown wonders don't end on Pearl Street... head "off the bricks" to find unique downtown offerings from vibrant art galleries, hip boutiques, cozy cafes and so much more. Happy exploring!


Looking for more to do this month? Check out downtown's Event Calendar and the monthly Things to Do Downtown blog.

Last newsletter asked for what you are looking most forward to this spring season. The top answer was Nature/Green Scenery/Flowers at 41%! This week, we want to know your favorite March-themed celebration.

What is your favorite March celebration?
St. Patrick's Day

Happy Women's History Month and (almost) International Women's Day! Support your local neighbors and explore all of downtown's women-owned/led businesses.


Pictured above, Rebecca Luna, owner of Rebecca's Herbal Apothecary & Supply sums it up best, "What a pleasure it has been to run Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary in this wonderful community for almost 20 years now. I am forever grateful for the women who came before me, having paved the way to make women-owned businesses the norm. May we continue thriving, holding each other up, as we show the next generation what is possible."


Thank you to all of our women-owned/led businesses for consistently showing up, using your voice and overall adding vibrant energy to the downtown community!
