Twelve Days of Downtown Deals sponsored by STCU

Holiday Window Display Contest sponsored by Visit Spokane

A vibrant, decorated downtown can attract customers by making the area more enjoyable and inviting. To celebrate Spokane’s unique, historic downtown, awards will be presented to participating businesses in the downtown area with the best holiday window displays.

The DSP will reimburse expenses up to $400 for any participant for design and creation of their windows. At least $100 of the reimbursement must go to the artist if one was hired externally to create the display.

Three winners will receive $600 value in advertising value from The Inlander, and $550 in advertising value from Visit Spokane.

    Crescent Windows at The Grand presented by Global Credit Union

    Step back in time this holiday season with classic window scenes on display in the Main Ave windows of The Davenport Grand hotel.

    Five window bays on the south side of The Davenport Grand will display scenes featuring refurbished figurines rescued from the basement of the former Crescent Department Store.

    Hours of operation

    Friday and Saturday: Noon-10:00pm | Sunday through Thursday: 3:00-8:00pm
    View from 333 W Main Ave.

    These windows are made possible thanks to the Downtown Spokane Business Improvement District, with facility contribution and logistical support from Davenport Hotels.

    Contribute to Downtown Spokane’s Holiday History

    Donate to help refurbish, maintain, and display these historic displays for years to come.

    When Macy’s closed in downtown Spokane in 2016, a journey began for the staff at the Downtown Spokane Partnership. Located in a fifth-floor storage room was a piece of Spokane holiday history, figurines from the windows of the Crescent Department store that graced the block between Main and Riverside Avenues from 1889 to 1988.

    From that find, DSP staff began locating storing, grouping and refurbishing pieces of holidays past. In 2018 the DSP partnered with Davenport Hotels to bring a bit of the magic back to Main Ave with The Crescent Windows at The Grand.

    This collaborative effort requires investment of time, talent, and funding to bring the windows to life each year, and the work has just begun.

    Help the DSP establish a fund that can maintain and present these one-of-a-kind displays for years to come. Your contribution not only brings the windows to life, but supports local artisans and businesses.
