ANNUAL AWARDS

Our coalition of downtown businesses and revitalization advocates comes together once a year for our Annual Dinner, to celebrate our mutual accomplishments, including toasting the best business efforts during the previous year with our Annual Awards. It is one of the best networking parties to kick off the new year in Springfield and is DSI’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Get your tickets for the 29th Annual Awards and Dinner on April 6, 2022 here.

NOMINATIONS

Nominations are accepted each Fall, so fans can nominate their favorites. Nominated categories range from Best Retail to Best Renovation. A committee of DSI members picks the final recipients. DSI Leadership also recognizes the previous year’s Best Advocate, Volunteer of the Year, as well as Lifetime Achievement.

DSI HAS HOSTED OUR ANNUAL AWARDS SINCE THE YEAR 2000.

La Piazza accepts Best Restaurant 2019.
