Park Kalamazoo is inviting residents and visitors to park, shop, and win this summer with a new weekly promotion that rewards supporting local businesses. 

Shoppers who spend $25 or more at any Downtown Kalamazoo business can now enter for a chance to win $100 in Downtown Dollars, redeemable at participating downtown locations. One winner will be selected each week through September 5, 2026, giving the community multiple chances to win while enjoying everything downtown has to offer. The first winner will be drawn on Tuesday, April 28. 

Downtown Dollars have long supported local spending, and this new promotion builds on that success by rewarding customers simply for shopping local. To learn more about Downtown Dollars and view a full list of participating businesses, visit www.kalamazoocity.org/downtowndollars.
