In 2011, the City partnered with the Dublin Chamber of Commerce (“Chamber”) and

encourage and increase shopping throughout the City of Dublin during the holidays. In
2015, the campaign was rebranded as “Discover Dublin CA” and expanded to a year -
round effort to support Dublin-based businesses throughout the year.
In 2016, in collaboration with the Chamber, the “Decorate Dublin” Holiday Contest in
support of the “Discover Dublin CA” effort. The friendly contest seeks to elevate the
festive aesthetic in Dublin’s retail areas during the busy holiday shopping season, to
encourage local shoppers to shop locally, and to promote local Dublin businesses to a
broader audience through participation in the program.
This year, the Chamber administered the contest, including to solicit participation,
register businesses in the contest, take photos of the displays and put together the
prizes. City staff assisted with outreach and hosted the on line survey for the People's
Choice award.
