(Atlantic, Iowa) – An annual tradition in Atlantic is back and better than ever. Officials with the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce report Discount Dayz happens Friday, August 1st and Saturday, August 2nd. Two days of shopping, dining, and community connection are highlighted, as businesses roll out their summer deals just in time for Iowa’s Tax-Free Weekend. Formerly known as Crazy Days, Discount Dayz has evolved into a more inclusive celebration of all that Atlantic has to offer. From unique retail finds and delicious food to professional services this event showcases the spirit of Atlantic’s business community.

“The great deals are still here, but now we’re opening the door for more businesses to participate and giving shoppers even more reasons to stay local and explore Atlantic,” said Kelsey Beschorner, Program Director at the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce. In addition to local deals, Discount Dayz is perfectly timed with Iowa’s Tax-Free Weekend, making it the ideal time to stock up on clothing, shoes, and more with no sales tax on qualifying purchases. Shoppers can also win big. One lucky local supporter will be awarded $200 in AtlantiCash. To enter, simply share a selfie while shopping or dining in Atlantic on August 1st or August 2nd and post it to Facebook using the hashtags #MyAtlanticIA on the Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce Facebook page. The winner will be announced live on Facebook on Monday, August 4th.

“This is a fun way to reward people for choosing Atlantic,” said Beschorner. “Whether you’re grabbing lunch, shopping for school clothes, or just exploring, it’s a weekend to feel good about supporting local.”
