Downtown Partnership of Colorado Springs

Welcome to Downtown Colorado Springs and we look forward to the growth of this long-time business under RS&H!

Last night, we celebrated the soft opening of the much anticipated Louie Louie’s Dueling Piano Bar! As part of the celebration, we invited our Downtown Partnership members to be the first to experience the new entertainment venue. Beginning this Friday, Louie Louie's will be open to the public. Grab a drink at the bar, a seat by the stage, and sing along to your favorite songs played by their unbelievably talented performing staff.

Volunteer for the Art on the Streets Scavenger Hunt on Friday, June 7! The annual Art on the Streets Scavenger Hunt celebrates the official opening of the new public art exhibit and welcomes friends and families to explore and interact with the new pieces. Volunteers are paired with an art piece and act as guides, administering activities, sharing trivia and handing out prizes. Time commitments for volunteers are 3.5 hours for the full shift or 1.75 hours for a half shift. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their partners, friends, colleagues and children, as the tasks are suitable for all ages. Volunteers will receive a complimentary pass for any of our Walking Tours. Sign up to volunteer here: https://lnkd.in/du7QAaBV

Live Downtown? We want your voice on our Downtown BID board! The Greater Downtown Colorado Springs Business Improvement District is seeking applications to fill a Downtown resident seat that will become open later this year. The Downtown BID ensures that Downtown fosters an urban environment that is clean, engaging, welcoming and walkable through services such as daily cleaning, landscaping, supplemental security services and consumer marketing initiatives. The board member must be a resident representing property ownership within the district; a map can be found here: https://lnkd.in/g3HvkUhb Interested board candidates may apply by submitting a letter and resume or short bio stating your interest in Downtown and any current or previous board or volunteer service to info@DowntownCS.com. Please also state which property address(es) you represent.
