The Downtown Georgetown Association (DGA), is 501(c)(6) non-profit membership that is deeply committed to fostering a thriving downtown district, a place where history, community, and commerce converge. Our mission is to ensure that the downtown district remains the heartbeat of Georgetown, a thriving marketplace for local businesses and a premier destination for visitors.
We achieve this by amplifying our members' presence on social media, fostering collaboration among businesses, and creating opportunities to support and promote one another. To bring that mission into reality, we partner with community businesses, residents and our City Event Planners to improve the vitality of the downtown historic shopping district and preserve the historic charm of our community.
At the heart of the DGA’s mission is our dedication to our members. We strive to create an environment that not only supports businesses but also promotes and generates interest in our community. Our members are more than just business owners, you are the stewards of Georgetown’s history and the architects of its future.
Our vision for Downtown Georgetown is to create a safe, vibrant, and historic district where people can play, shop, dine, stay, and conduct business. To realize this vision, we are constantly seeking ways to enhance the downtown experience. This includes organizing premier events that draw people to our downtown district, such as First Friday Music on the Square and 2nd Saturday Market Days (March – November), and the three-day Christmas Stroll in December. These free, family-friendly events offer a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community and experience the unique spirit of Georgetown.
By joining the DGA, businesses gain access to a network of support, resources, and opportunities that are designed to help businesses succeed. We encourage business owners in the downtown district to become a part of our community, to share in our mission, and to help us maintain the historic downtown shopping district as a premier destination for both newcomers, locals and tourists.
