Since our inception in 1981 by a vote of district property owners and residents, the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority (DDA) has been guided by our Plan of Development and our Mission: to build public-private investment partnerships that foster economic, cultural, and social growth in the central business district. Since 2020, its Business Marketing & Communications Program has been cham

pioning small-business and community initiatives that strengthen the heartbeat of downtown. We're more than promoters. We're advocates, storytellers, and collaborators dedicated to creating meaningful change. Every business promotion and campaign we launch, and every connection we build, is rooted in the belief that when local businesses thrive, the entire community benefits. Guided by our deep affection for historic Old Town and its incredible landscape of business and neighborhoods, we bring heart, grit, and purpose to everything we do. Supporting this vibrant urban hub isn't just our job, it's our passion.

Soak in your Friday morning with a stroll through the colorful pedestrian alleys of Downtown Fort Collins! 🌸🎨🎷

Our vibrant walkways are filled with stunning local art, including this piece tucked into the Beardmore, Godinez, and Reidhead Alleys corridor. Painted by local artist Werner Schreiber & Heather as part of a Fort Collins Mural Project installation, the design brings the historic brick walls to life with music & movement.

Take a moment to enjoy the flowers, admire the local creativity, and explore the nearby shops, cafes, and restaurants that make Downtown Fort Collins so special.

🎉This Thursday, August 27th join us in Old Town Square at 7 PM as we continue our Thursday Night Live summer concert series with Road Pony 🔥🎧❤

🌟 The country band with more twang than a banjo at a family reunion. Fronted by Megan Burtt and Lauren Frihauf, whose harmonies could melt the coldest heart, they’ve got local legends backing them—Dave Devine, Eric Moon, Braxton Kahn keeping the groove, and Kramer Kelling on bass, making sure the boot scootin’ never stops. Paying homage to the greats like Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn, Road Pony brings the classic country heat with a fresh spin. Saddle up, folks—it’s gonna be a wild, toe-tapping, whiskey-soaked ride!
