Upcoming Merchant Meetings


Events & Community Programming 3/31/21 -- Survey below ​↓↓

Picture
We would like to open up a conversation about events & community programming with merchants in the EID.  One opportunity that COVID offered us is a chance to pause and evaluate what was working and not working (in our lives, businesses, and communities).  We have a real opportunity to start on a fresh road as things come back online in regards to where we put our efforts to bring tourists and locals to Downtown. 

At the beginning of the pandemic, we'd held several merchant meetings via Zoom where we collectively discussed and brainstormed the best way to navigate the pandemic together - especially pertaining to things like First Friday Art Walk.  Your participation and feedback in these meetings was extremely valuable to us.  

The end of the pandemic is now in sight and I'd like to check-in with you guys again and have a conversation about what we want to create in regards to events & community programming in Downtown Bend. I want to know how the DBBA can best support the needs (and future dreams) of the merchants of Downtown Bend. 

Please SAVE THE DATE, Wednesday 3/31 8:30am at the Commons Cafe and Taproom, outside in the plaza.  Dan will be serving up coffee - and all regular drip coffees will be provided for by the DBBA.  (We're excited to see all of you in-person again!!).  Masks are expected and appreciated.  Please complete the survey below to help us prepare for this meeting.  

Thank you so much for your time and willingness to have this conversation with us.  We really appreciate it.
