Phase I of this exciting million dollar project will include new lights for Laney Walker Blvd., Broad Street, and the Commons. On December 8th following the Christmas Parade, please join us for the First Annual Christmas Light-up Spectacular from 4:00 until 6:30 pm. Enjoy carriage rides, a petting zoo, Santa, Elf School, roving performers, children’s activities and great entertainment by local choral groups.

Saturday Market On Broad
The DDA believes that promoting downtown to residents and visitors is key to the revitalization process. The Saturday Market has received funding from the commission that will cease this calendar year. The Market needs $40,000 per year to operate at a break-even point. To date the market has received $10,000 in private sponsorships, $10,800 in in-kind donations and a new campaign "Friends of the Market" has netted $1500. Vendor participation for the opening market on May 6th has increased by 100 percent. In addition, grant application funding in the amount of $75,000 has been applied for to support next year’s continued operation.
