The Rock Island Downtown Alliance is excited to present the Sweetheart Shop Hop on Saturday, Feb. 7 - a Valentine’s Day–themed event inviting the community to support downtown businesses by shopping their specials, enjoying local food and drinks, joining in‑store activities and exploring what makes each place unique. It’s a simple, fun way to show up for the shops, restaurants, bars and other cultural attractions that keep Downtown Rock Island vibrant.
Pick up a stamp card at any participating business, visit at least five locations, then turn it in to be entered to win great prizes.
“The local businesses in our district create Downtown Rock Island’s melting pot of experiences, and the Sweetheart Shop Hop is a way to highlight some of these unique amenities and invite the community to show up for these businesses,” said Jack Cullen, Executive Director of the Downtown Alliance.
Shop, dine and hop on over to the next location.
Participants will be entered to win one of the following great prizes:
Prize winners will be announced the following week.
