This year’s Downtown Summer Sale event begins today and runs through Sunday in the historic Old Town District of Fort Collins. The sale aims to bring the community great bargains at their favorite local stores.

A variety of merchants will be participating in the event and providing shoppers with savings, including White Balcony, Blue Harvest Apparel, Clothes Pony and Dandelion Toys, The Cupboard and The Welsh Rabbit Cheese Shop.

Free trolley rides sponsored by Big Al’s Burgers and Hot Dogs will be available Friday and Saturday from 12 p.m. until 5 p.m.

The trolley will meet at the intersection of Mountain Avenue and Howes Street and will travel to and from City Park.
