January 3 is the first First Friday of 2020, and the theme is “Fire and Ice”🔥❄️. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It may be chilly outside, but warm up with a fun and cozy evening of roasting marshmallows over an open flame, like @joyoflivingmt did during the last First Friday. Walk the streets sipping hot cocoa and enjoy exclusive evening specials and activities at downtown businesses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We are excited to announce that we are planning for new LED holiday decorations, ready for installation in November of 2020! The current Downtown Billings holiday decorations were purchased in the 1960s and are nearing the end of their usable life. We have one of the snowflakes installed on Broadway in front of Rock Creek Coffee so you can check it out for yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, these new decorations are not cheap, and we are a non-profit, so we have launched a crowdfunding campaign to help raise the funds needed to bring this project to fruition. Please consider donating a few dollars through the link in our bio to see your city shine next holiday season!✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each snowflake is over $600, and each stretch of lit garland is over $200! The DBA is planning on wrapping and lighting 23 light poles on 2nd and Broadway. Any extra funds will be used to beautify 29th St between 1st and 3rd. Help us bring some extra Christmas cheer to Billings next year!
