Downtown Driggs Association (DDA) is incredibly grateful to the Community Foundation of Teton Valley and our community for helping us to ensure that art, music, and theater programming is FREE and accessible for all! Our arts and culture programs, creative placemaking activities, and downtown beautification projects address the need for engaging and inspiring experiences that vitalize, revive and strengthen downtown Driggs. In 2022, Tin Cup donations were essential in allowing us to host more than 200 artists, musicians and actors, with the help of 180 volunteers, to reach audiences of over 12,000, while keeping arts and culture FREE and accessible for everyone.
Downtown Driggs Association’s FREE 2023 Driggs Summer Arts lineup includes WindSync wind quintet’s bilingual (English and Spanish) performances of Peter and the Wolf and Interstellar Cinderella for youth and families, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks performance of “The Three Musketeers” and the 12th Annual Driggs Plein Air Festival. Local bands Sister Karee and the Other Brothers and Batdorf & the Brother Wolf’s rock and funk will make you boogie down. This fall, during the Teton Valley Home Grown Fall Arts Festival, the Colorado Chamber Orchestra and Opera will perform mini operas on Driggs Plaza, followed by the renowned world jazz group, Nicolas Meier Trio.
Our winter programs include Driggs Snowscapes: The Art of Sculpting Snow where monumental snow sculptures adorn Driggs Plaza bringing wonder and joy during the darkest months of the year and our annual Light Up Downtown program where we deliver strings of white lights to downtown business to adorn storefronts. The annual Snow Ball is an opportunity for the community to dress up, dance and celebrate community. DDA also organized two large-scale community trash clean up days, planted 56 whiskey barrels with flowers to adorn main street and installed a large-scale shade structure at Mugler Plaza Community Space and bedecked the space with flowers and trees.
Tin Cup is essential to sustaining the Downtown Driggs Association’s ability to grow and offer inspiring and FREE arts and culture programs for our community and carry out streetscape improvement projects. Visit www.downtowndriggs.org for details and to donate today. We appreciate YOU!
