419 Day Weekend Shop Hop

April 17-19, 2026

The Downtown Toledo Improvement District is launching a new 419 Day Weekend Shop Hop from April 17–19, 2026, inviting local businesses to participate in a fun, interactive shopping experience. Timed alongside popular downtown events, the Shop Hop encourages visitors to explore multiple districts by collecting passport punches at participating stores for a chance to win prizes. The event is designed to boost foot traffic, highlight small businesses, and celebrate the spirit of shopping local in downtown Toledo.

🛍️ Here’s how it works: Participating businesses will receive 419 Day Shop Hop passports for customers to pick up and use throughout the weekend. Shoppers will need to visit 7 of the 9 participating location to collect a unique punch. Once your passport is complete, drop it off at your final stop to be entered to win. It’s simple, interactive, and designed to keep people moving through downtown. *Shoppers do not need to purchase to get a punch, but we highly encourage shopping local!

🛍️ Prizes: We will round up the completed passports the week of April 20 & announce the winners. There are 6 total prizes to be won:

(5) gift card prize pack bundles, which will include $10 gift cards to each participating retailer

(1) grand prize gift basket with pretty rad goodies from each retailer

Shop local, visit, & explore our Downtown Toledo retailers this 419 Day Weekend! ⭐⭐⭐
