(Downtown Berkley, March 20, 2021)
Berkley, MI – As warmer spring weather approaches, The Berkley Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is kicking off two spring promotions as a fun, safe way for pandemic-weary residents and visitors alike to escape their homes and get out on the town.
“March into Downtown Berkley” runs now to Friday, April 2. During the events, shoppers will earn $20 in Downtown Berkley Bucks (DBB) for every $40 spent at select downtown businesses. During the promotion, anyone who shops or dines at select downtown businesses and submits their receipts along with a mailing address to marketing@downtownberkley.com by April 3 will receive Downtown Berkley Bucks (a maximum of $100 Berkley Bucks earned per individual). Downtown Berkley Bucks can be redeemed at any participating Berkley businesses byMay 14. Some rules and exclusions apply, more information can be found here: https://downtownberkley.com/march-into-berkley.
Coinciding with “March into Downtown Berkley” the Berkley DDA is also hosting ‘Ladies Night Out: Take Me Out To Berkley,’ April 1 and 2. This premier shopping event draws hundreds of women into Berkley’s two charming shopping and dining districts as business owners extend hours and offer in-store deals, discounts and demos, as well as complimentary services and activities geared toward event attendees.
There is no cost to attend, and event goers can simply pick up a map from one of the participating businesses and receive stamps from all shops they visit throughout the night. When participants turn in their map card in at the end of the evening they are entered into a drawing to WIN fabulous prizes from Downtown Berkley businesses.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for visitors and residents to get out and support our local businesses,” said Alayna Schraffenberger, Downtown Berkley Marketing Chair. “Downtown Berkley is known for its unique independently-owned small shops, world-class restaurants and bars and eclectic boutiques.
