This year's "Noel Night" will run for the month of December. With concerns over health and safety from large crowds, Local First acknowledges that continuing Noel Night as usual this year is not a responsible choice. So, we as an organization have decided to adapt! To encourage safe, social distancing, we are letting people shop when they want!   This year, your favorite local businesses will have coupons, or "vouchers" inside the annual Noel Night newspaper insert created by The Durango Herald. These vouchers can be used at your convenience so you can do your holiday shopping easily and safely! We are also going virtual for 2020 Noel Night and making shopping go virtual! There will be two options for shopping virtual this year including an online market place and virtual shoppers. We encourage you to shop local and shop safe this holiday season.

Embark on a journey to yesteryear where amazing finds you this winter season! Ride a historic steam train 26 miles each way on this 5-hour round trip train ride to Cascade Canyon. Departing from the Durango Depot, this trip takes you up into the Rocky Mountains with views of the San Juan National Forest as you travel alongside the beautiful Animas River while relaxing in heated coaches. Cascade Canyon is a destination like no other and is the perfect setting for a fire-side lunch, photo opportunities or a walk along the Animas River to the footbridge on your 45-minute layover. All trains have a concession car with a variety of snacks and drinks available for purchase.

Join us this Holiday Season and enjoy the one-of-a-kind designs of jewelry artist Michelle Tapia. Each piece is hand-carved from walrus tusk, hand-inked with whimsical motifs, and set in fine metals.
