Plus five weekly $250 themed gift baskets sponsored by Bank of Colorado
Colorado Springs, CO – Shop Local + Win Local returns to Downtown Colorado Springs this holiday season, giving shoppers a chance to win prizes while supporting local retailers. Last year’s campaign drew 1,344 entries representing more than $67,200 in spending at Downtown retailers.
From Nov. 6 through Dec. 13, every $50 spent in person at an eligible Downtown retail business earns one entry to win. Shoppers may combine receipts from multiple eligible retailers in one submission, with up to 10 entries per submission.
Each week, one shopper will win a $250 Downtown prize package built around a different theme: Outdoors, Foodie, Relaxation, Nature, or Locally Made. Each package pairs $150 in themed products from Downtown retailers with a $100 Downtown Gift Card — giving winners even more ways to explore local shops. The campaign, sponsored by Bank of Colorado, also awards a $1,000 Visa gift card as its grand prize.
“Independent retailers are a big part of what makes Downtown Colorado Springs distinctive. When you shop locally, your dollars stay close to home and help those businesses continue to be part of the community. We’re glad to give shoppers a fun added reason to choose Downtown this holiday season,” said Dan Nordberg, Market President at Bank of Colorado.
“Downtown is a great place to get more of your holiday shopping done in one trip — with independent shops, locally made gifts, and cool products you won’t see everywhere. Shop Local + Win Local adds a little fun to the experience, while every eligible purchase supports the businesses that give Downtown its character,” said Carrie Simison, Director of Communications & Public Relations for the Downtown Partnership.
Weekly drawings will take place Nov. 12, Nov. 19, Nov. 25, Dec. 3, and Dec. 10. Receipts must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. the day before each weekly drawing. The deadline to enter for the grand prize is 11:59 p.m. Dec. 13, with the $1,000 Visa gift card drawing on Dec. 14. All purchases must be made between Nov. 6 and Dec. 13, 2026 and take place at a Downtown Colorado Springs retailer to be eligible.
