Downtown Decorations

10/08/2026

Our team designs this stuff for a living, so we notice when a great display only gets one night in the spotlight. That's a waste of some really good lighting.

Our latest newsletter breaks down how to get more mileage out of your holiday display. It's real, research-backed marketing tactics for driving foot traffic and awareness around your holiday events, not a list of things to buy. Subscribe to get it straight to your inbox, or read this one now.

We are, admittedly, a little obsessed with our Aurora Collection ✨ Built with our partners at Adamlights, these pole snowflakes glow after dark and sparkle all day. Come peruse the collection and let your downtown show off a little.

As summer comes to a close, we rounded up a few customer photos of streets graced with DDI patriotic banners. 🇺🇸

Over the summer, we ran a photo contest for our customers who purchased patriotic banners, from celebrating America's 250th birthday to honoring local heroes in their communities. We sought your images and chose a few lucky winners to receive a gift card!

Here are our lovely winners:

Deep River, Connecticut

Travelers Rest, South Carolina

Columbus, TX Chamber of Commerce

American Legion Post 118 Missouri

Tis the season for showstopping displays!

From towering trees to illuminated stars, we're helping towns and properties bring the holidays to life this year:

🎄 Giant Trees — 14ft to 100ft, built to anchor any downtown celebration
⭐ Design Stars — 6.5' to 20', wrapped in LED lights for a public-art feel
🔮 Orbs — 16" to 51", perfect for adding depth to any display
🎁 Giant Ornaments — durable fiberglass builds that shrug off sun, weather & time (stock is running low!)

Built to shine day AND night, season after season.

Not sure where to start? We just dropped a blog full of tree-decorating inspiration: https://downtowndecorations.com/tree-mendous-ideas-decorating-your-commercial-christmas-tree-this-season/

Let's bring some magic to your community this year. 🌟
