“Festive events like the holiday stroll remind people that shopping Downtown is an experience like no other place in Colorado Springs,” said Carrie Simison, Director of Marketing & Communications for the Downtown Partnership. “This kind of engagement makes shopping fun for the whole family as you run into friends in the stores and restaurants, and get the opportunity to chat and take photos with holiday characters on the decorated streets.”
