The Downtown Springfield Association has been inspired by the strong community support for its restaurants, retailers, theatres and more during this challenging, ever-evolving time. To say thank you, the DSA is launching Downtown Curbside Bingo March 24.

Players can make purchases at any Downtown business to cover up squares on their downloadable bingo card. The first player to fill five connecting squares will win a prize package from the DSA.

“The community is stepping up in these unprecedented times to support the local businesses they love. This new Bingo game is a fun way to encourage patrons to explore Downtown tastes and online shopping while helping their neighbor small business owners and employees.”

Here’s how to play.

1. Make a purchase from any Downtown restaurant and take a photo or screenshot of your receipt, showing the date the purchase was made. Only purchases made March 24 or later will count. Categories on the board include coffee, pizza, tacos, wings, burgers, grilled cheese, craft beer and more.
2. Have a food allergy? Don’t drink? No problem! You can use a Wild Card to cover up any square on the board. Earn a Wild Card by ordering free delivery from carGO, make a purchase from any Downtown retailer or purchase a gift card from any Downtown business.
3. The first person to submit a completed bingo board wins! Just connect five squares vertically, horizontally or diagonally. There’s a free spot in the middle to help you along the way and don’t forget the Wild Cards! Entries can be submitted by Facebook, Instagram or Twitter direct message, or by emailing jeff@itsalldowntown.com.
4. The grand prize? A DSA swag bag! You’ll get merch from some of Downtown’s premier events as well as a $50 gift card to the Downtown business of your choice!
