Join the city of Durango in celebrating sustainable transportation with Winter Bike to Work Day and the Business Commuter Challenge!

9th and 10th Streets from Main to Narrow Gauge will be blocked off to traffic and parking to create an area for people to safely gather in Downtown. Tables, chairs, heaters and lighting will be brought in to create a space to enjoy take out from a local restaurant and listen to live entertainment. QR codes will be at every table that link you to Downtown restaurants to place your order. Pick up your food and then enjoy a meal in Downtown! BID also encourages you to also stroll around Downtown to do some shopping, and will have lists at the tables with information on stores that are open and any specials they might be offering.   Masks are required when you are in Downtown, and are thus required in the Durango Grit Gathering spaces, except when you are actively eating. Tables will be socially distanced and a limited number of people are allowed inside the areas at one time to help ensure everyone's safety. Please bring your mask and listen to the volunteers that are working the entrances.   BID thanks the City of Durango and our friends at Local First for making this happen! We hope to see you in Downtown this Friday, or any of the next three Fridays!

One way to beat the darkness of this time of year is to get outside and enjoy it! Experience the alpine glow of the Twilight Peaks and the rise of the full moon as you sip a warm beverage or go for an evening ski. This is an event for the whole family. Pass required, rentals available.    Join us at the Full Moon Howler!

Taught by Durango herbalist and microbiologist, Dr. Anna Marija Helt.    The Rockies are full of medicinal mushrooms. Some are delicious edibles, while others will break your teeth. Mushrooms have been used for many centuries for acute and tonic effects in the body, and the tradition and science show influence on everything from immunity to heart health to digestion and mood. Learn about some of the most common species you'll encounter here in the Rockies and pick up a bit of mushroom medicine making know-how along the way. A demo on mushroom double extracts will be done and samples will be available for students via no-contact-pickup in Albuquerque. (For any SW Colorado folks, let Marija know and she can have local pickup in Durango.)
