Thinking about Summer? Shopping in DeLand is cool. Literally and figuratively. As you would imagine all of the Downtown businesses are air conditioned. More than that, Downtown DeLand is a “cool” place for locals to hang out when they are looking to shop, dine, or be entertained.

In addition to our awesome downtown, locals and visitors alike are finding lots of ways to spend their summer with us. West Volusia is a great place to spend your summer. Visit our website, www.MainstreetDeLand.org, for things to do in DeLand and West Volusia.

When you spend money in our downtown businesses you not only provide jobs and the means to support local organizations and causes, you are helping our downtown to thrive. Unless your online purchases are from one of our local merchants, your money leaves the community, never to return.

Check out the ad for our next event, Tropical Nights. It’s a bit different this year with our hat contest in local participating establishments and Saturday afternoon is reserved for the kids on West Indiana. More information on all our upcoming events is available at MainStreetDeLand.org.

If you haven’t already, follow us on Facebook and sign up for our weekly email updates. We look forward to seeing you Downtown this month. Stay cool.
