Downtown Durham is the place to be for the winter holidays! Below is a listing of events, specials and sales happening throughout the holiday season. More are being added every day, so check back often!
The holidays are a great time to shop local and support the one-of-a-kind businesses that make downtown Durham so cool. Give the gift of downtown with a SpendaBull e-gift card, and if you’ve got a SpendaBull card, redeem it! This gets those dollars to our businesses and keeps them in our community.
And don’t forget to take a drive through downtown to see the beautiful lights between Thanksgiving and New Year ‘s Day. Check out the Downtown Points of Light event below for more info.
