Timbuk2 introduced Summer Sessions tied to its stores in Chicago, Denver, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, and Venice.
“With bike margarita blenders, exclusive beer tastings, and special deals, this motley of jubilation will have you hope the season never turns,” the company wrote in its release.
“Summer Sessions is about kicking back and getting to know one another with a memorable experience.” said CEO Patti Cazzato. “We’ve always been committed to improving life in cities through local manufacturing and designing long-lasting products for the urban commuter. This year, we wanted to take it a step further by providing a space where we can invite the local community to come hang with us.”
Each city will take on a distinct set of partnerships with an array of hometown favorites, amounting to over 100 collaborations with local breweries, musicians, museums, non-profits and more. Summer with Timbuk2 includes bumpin’ parties, kickin’ deals, and hitting the streets for rides full of general revelry. A snapshot of storewide and regional event highlights for each store include:
