PROMOTE YOUR BRAND WITH THE DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION

Great news! Not only do downtown districts attract more visitors than other areas of commerce, but operating within the downtown district makes your business an automatic member of the Downtown Association of Santa Cruz. Being a member has many perks including opportunities for increased marketing through year-round promotions and events that the Downtown Association manages. We're here to support you.

Here's our QUICK GUIDE to promoting your content with the Downtown Association. 

Here's our list of annual EVENTS & PROMOTIONS. Many of our promotions are free to join. Just one of the perks of being a Downtown member.
