Downtown Day
9/27/2025

Join the Michigan Downtown Association on Saturday, September 27, 2025, and celebrate the 6th Annual Downtown Day.
The MDA encourages community members to visit a Michigan downtown on September 27 and enjoy its shops, restaurants, and recreational and cultural aspects.  Many MDA member communities will have special events planned to celebrate the special day. The MDA believes Downtown Day brings positive attention and recognition to small businesses and downtown cores.There are many opportunities for Michigan residents to support downtowns like strolling sidewalks, having a picnic in a park, enjoying a Social District, purchasing goods from a retailer, or leaving a positive review for a small business on social media.
