Snowing Outside? Ha! Get Some Warm Vacay Vibes Inside

Gear up for your spring break and shop local during the Get Away or Stay & Play shopping event! Whether you’re jetting off to paradise or enjoying local adventures, our merchants are creating a festive vacay vibe! They’ll have everything you need – from travel must-haves and warm-weather outfits to fun activities and indulgent self-care experiences. Participating businesses will be setting the scene with their best vacation vibes – some with special treats & sips, memorable moments, or limited time offers.

Traveling? Get your hands on items like seasonal outfits and swimwear, a book for the plane, some fresh kicks, or a yoga sesh to zen out pre-travel.

Staycation? Stock up for game night, grab a table at your fave eatery, treat the kiddos to a fun craft or pets to a new toy, binge your saved shows with locally sourced snacks, or play tourist in a local hotel.
