Welcome to Georgetown! 

As the President of the Downtown Georgetown Association (DGA), a 501(c)(6) non-profit, I'm thrilled to introduce you to our vibrant community. At the heart of our town lies a thriving downtown district where history, community, and commerce beautifully intersect. Our mission at the DGA is to ensure that this district remains the lifeblood of Georgetown—a bustling marketplace for local businesses and a premier destination for residents and visitors alike. We are dedicated to amplifying the presence of our business members through social media, encouraging collaboration among businesses, and creating opportunities for them to support and promote each other. We're excited to have you as part of our community and look forward to seeing you around downtown!

To bring this mission to life, the DGA partners with local businesses, residents, and the City of Georgetown.  We believe that by working together, we can create a downtown that is not only a premier shopping destination but also a welcoming space where locals and visitors alike can enjoy the essence of Georgetown.

Whether you’re shopping at one of our unique boutiques, enjoying a meal at a local eatery, or simply strolling through our historic streets, you’re contributing to the vibrancy and sustainability of our community. Our businesses are the lifeblood of downtown, and we are dedicated to supporting them in every way possible.

As a new homeowner in Georgetown, you'll find that our downtown district has everything you need in one place! Our vision for Downtown Georgetown is to create a safe, vibrant, and historic area where you can play, shop, dine, stay, and conduct business—all while enjoying the unique charm and community spirit that makes our town special.

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 Second 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.

Our community is built on a foundation of strong community spirit, where we know each other’s names and stories. We understand that when our community and city thrive, we all benefit. In Georgetown, we show up for each other, collaborate, extend a hand, and cheer each other on. We choose community over competition. This spirit of camaraderie is the heartbeat of our business community—it drives us to promote one another, celebrate our collective successes, and offer support during challenging times.

At the heart of the DGA’s mission is our dedication to our members. We strive to create an environment that not only supports their businesses but also promotes and generates interest in our community. Our members are more than just business owners—they are the stewards of Georgetown’s history and the architects of its future.

DGA businesses gain access to a network of support, resources, and opportunities that are designed to help them succeed. We encourage all 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 locals and tourists.

As a newcomer and new homeowner, your presence in our community is truly valued. We warmly welcome you to Georgetown and thank you for supporting our DGA members. Your patronage plays a vital role in maintaining the charm and vibrancy of our downtown district, helping us create a thriving marketplace where history and community come together. We’re excited to have you as part of our growing Georgetown family and look forward to seeing you around town.
