Shop in Durham this holiday season

This holiday season, Durham Tourism invites Durham Region residents to shop local.

Buying local will have a big impact on small businesses. Shoppers can help spread the message by using the hashtag #ShopInDurham when sharing holiday finds on social media.

Contest details:

  • Take a picture of your favourite local shop or product, or take a selfie in front of a local store or with the shop owner.
  • Tell everyone why you love that shop, shop owner or product.
  • Post the picture on your Instagram, using the hashtag #ShopInDurham.
  • Enter as many times as you like with new photos.

Participants will be eligible to win $300 in local gift cards. Three prizes are available to be won. One winner will be chosen for November, December and January.
