We envision a lively and active downtown that the community takes pride in and improves the quality of life for all.

Our vision is a downtown that serves as the focal point of entertainment, shopping, and tourism for the community. Our downtown will be a place that generates pride among our residents and a sense of discovery for our visitors. Downtown Brunswick has a charm rooted in our railroad culture, canal history, river and mountain resources. People come from near and far to experience this special place.

Brunswick Main Street will be a catalyst in transforming the downtown area into a lively place where it may be common to see folks strolling the streets, shopping, dining outside, listening to music or walking down to the river. Downtown Brunswick will be the place that the community comes together to celebrate our heritage and to engage with downtown merchants throughout the year. With this vision, Brunswick Main Street strives to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and visits here.

Join fellow runners on August 29, 2026 for the Potomac Street Mile. It's a fantastic 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Brunswick.
