Welcome to Main Street Grants Pass
Your Downtown. Your Community. Your Main Street
We support the businesses, events, and public spaces that make Grants Pass a place people want to spend their time and money.
Downtown is moving. Merchants are stepping up. Visitors are showing up. Our job is to keep that momentum going with clear communication, strong programming, and support that strengthens every block from the Caveman Bridge to G Street.
You’ll find current events, merchant initiatives, and ways to get involved throughout this site. If you run a business or organization downtown, this is where you stay plugged in.
Downtown is entering the busiest stretch of the year. We’re building one unified calendar that highlights every activity, promotion, extended hour, and community event across December.
