Downtown Container Park celebrating 10-year anniversary on Small Business Saturday

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Downtown Container Park is celebrating 10 years in downtown Las Vegas. In honor of its anniversary, the park is offering special discounts and live entertainment this weekend.

"It's an incredible achievement to celebrate 10 years in downtown Las Vegas," said Container Park General Manager James Gonzales. "Container Park's small business community has only continued to grow and evolve over the last decade and extending our Small Business Saturday celebration through to Sunday this year is a testament to the park's success."

Gonzalez said it's a happy coincidence that the park's 10-year anniversary falls on the same weekend as Small Business Saturday.

"They had a soft opening on the 25th of November 10 years ago, so ironically, it kind of lands in the same spot so it worked out for us really well," Gonzalez said.

The fun kicks off on Saturday at 10 a.m. and runs through Sunday. Container Park officials said every business at the park will offer 10% off all weekend long. Oak & Ivy, Bin 702 and Downtown Terrace will also offer specialty cocktails for $10.

Recent years have been tough on small businesses, and Gonzalez said he hopes this weekend provides a big boost for them.

"Las Vegas people are some of the best people when it comes to supporting local. I think just being able to help as much as they can, knowing that their dollar goes further here, being able to get early Christmas gifts, stocking stuffers, it's one of the better things to be able to do during this time," Gonzalez said.

Officials said there will also be live entertainment scheduled for each day, including musicians Jonny Hazard, Angels and Outlaws, Sugatone, and Greyson. There will also be complimentary face painting, balloon art, and an appearance from magician Nicholas Creed.

Santa's sleigh will also make an appearance each day from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. to pose for photos and pick-up Christmas lists.
