Applications are now open for the Seasonal Downtown Patio Program, with opportunities available across the Greater Downtown area.
Local businesses are invited to apply to create or expand seasonal patios within the following neighbourhoods:
- Historic Downtown
- Capstone
- Railyards
- Parkvale
A seasonal patio is a temporary outdoor extension of a business that operates during the warmer months. These spaces may include seating, tables, and decorative elements that create inviting places for people to gather, dine, and connect.
Seasonal patios help bring energy and activity to the Greater Downtown. They support local businesses, encourage people to spend more time in the area, and contribute to a more vibrant and welcoming environment. By activating sidewalks, streets, and underused spaces, patios also help create a safer and more engaging public realm for residents and visitors alike.
Businesses interested in participating can learn more about program requirements, design guidelines, and how to apply by visiting https://www.reddeer.ca/business/operating-a-business/seasonal-patio-program/.
