Downtown Partners welcomes you to kick off the holiday season with an evening full of activities for the entire family! Downtown for the Holidays is scheduled for Monday, November 25th in downtown Sioux City.
Litter Quick Pick is a bi-weekly event that encourages litter removal in downtown Sioux City. Every first and third Friday businesses around downtown take a quick break from work and go outside to pick up litter.
The necessary materials (litter bags, gloves, zip-ties) can be picked up at several downtown “captain” locations.
Downtown Partners is proud to announce the first Alley Art Festival in Sioux City on Saturday, September 21st, from 1 p.m. – 11 p.m. This first-of-its-kind street art festival provides local artists with a platform to show their skills, by creating murals in the alleyways between 4th, 5th, Pierce and Nebraska Streets.
The City of Sioux City invites residents, businesses, schools, and community groups to coordinate a team for the Sioux City Litter Dash, a litter cleanup, to help beautify our community and reduce the impact of litter on our environment. Working together with the community, these efforts will have a visible, positive impact on our community. Litter negatively impacts our environment, the aesthetic appeal of our community, and even economic development. By volunteering for this event, you send a strong anti-litter message and will receive recognition for your commitment to improve our community.

Kalynn Sortino, Business and Entrepreneur Support Coordinator at Downtown Partners states, “Sioux City has been known for live music, and events with live music. So, for one day, we wanted to steer away from performers and let the community come together, just like they would for a neighborhood block party, but in the streets of downtown Sioux City! Let’s fill downtown with laughter, and a little friendly competition.”
Teams can register HERE to compete in the Bar Olympic Games which include; cornhole (bags), life-size trash pong, ladder golf, knock-out and more! There will be art aspects, show cars, and lots of food and drinks. The Block Party will be located in between 4th and 5th street on Water and Pearl.
