MY TURN: Street Fair: Year-round benefits for downtown

by EMILY BOYD/Guest Opinion
| August 27, 2025 1:00 AM

A recent letter to the editor raised concerns about the Downtown Coeur d’Alene Street Fair and its impact on downtown businesses. As the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association and the organizer of the event, we appreciate feedback as we evaluate what is best for the majority of our downtown businesses and community. We evaluate the value of all our events, including Street Fair, how it supports the long-term health of downtown, what it offers our community and how it supports downtown stakeholders. 

The DTA is a nonprofit organization formed by downtown stakeholders in 1989, dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the vibrancy, safety and economic vitality of downtown. DTA manages programs including beautification, maintenance and promotions. We also manage the Business Improvement District, which helps fund these essential services. Together, these programs create a welcoming and thriving downtown for businesses, residents and visitors.
