Please, stay safe while shopping Downtown for the holidays.
Wear a Mask
This seems like a no brainer by now but we are taking it a step further! While walking around Downtown we suggest wearing a mask at all times for ultimate safety, especially if visiting San Jacinto Plaza. With great power, comes great responsibility!
6 Feet Apart
Be respectful of Downtown business’s spaces and shops, while everyone is operating differently most shops have a limit as to how many people they are allowing into the store for the safety and concern of the customers and employees. Others shops Downtown are on the smaller side and can only hold a few shoppers at a time. Make sure while in the store to be conscious of your proximity to others and maintain 6 feet apart from each other. Some businesses have taken an extra step and taken the Pledge to Safety.
Pledge to Safety is a self-monitored program for local businesses created to implement additional safety measures to combat COVID-19. Participating businesses will pledge to comply with all of the safety requirements and recommendations made by health officials.

Restaurants have varying operations with options of dine-in, take-out and delivery. See what restaurants are doing here.
Drive-Thru
An alternative to walking around Downtown, we suggest viewing the lights from the safety and comfort of your car. You can even order ahead (by phone or online) at some restaurants and pick-up food from a curbside. Downtown also has free parking spaces in front of some of your favorite restaurants. Some retail businesses are also offering curbside pick-up.
