Through events, initiatives, and advocacy, the DVA works to enhance the economic vitality and cultural richness of downtown Vincennes.

Our events are designed to attract community engagement to the Main Street area with festivals, DORA zones, multi-business collaborations, and cultural events.

Stroll the beautiful downtown from art gallery to art gallery all while supporting local artists!

A fun festival that spans Main Street with food, drinks, music, vintage cars, kids' activities, and more!

The downtown comes alive during the 4th of July with parade, fireworks, and carnival rides for all.

Get in the holiday spirit with our downtown Parade of Lights!
As an Indiana Main Street designated affiliate, DVA is a small but mighty group of committees that focus on core areas of the downtown area.

We work hard to keep the exterior character of the buildings in downtown just as charming as our history. From grants to incentives, the DVA helps shopowners continue updating.
Through events, festivals, and gatherings, we are trying to grow the community engagment in this special area. Check out the events happening this year!
Our goal is to attract and retain businesses by being a support system to businessowners.
By growing our organization through volunteers, fundraising, and city partners, we build up the downtown network in Vincennes. Find out how you can become a volunteer.
