Weekly Drop - September 3

We’ve gone digital!

Our Downtown Roanoke Gift Cards have gone completely digital, making it easier than ever shop local. By purchasing these gift cards, you can directly a vibrant community of restaurants, retailers, and attractions that make downtown Roanoke unique. Downtown Roanoke gift cards can be purchased online at any time and are redeemable at 25+ locations.

Have a legacy plastic gift card? Don’t fret— these can still be used for one (1) year. After that, just contact our staff for assistance. (Click here for more info.)
