Business Participation Needed for 2nd Saturday in June


Bring guests downtown -and to your business - by participating in our 2nd Saturdays this Summer

2nd Saturdays Downtown

After last summer, Manchester guests are accustomed to visiting Downtown Manchester on the 2nd Saturday of the month - looking for sales, specials, pop-up shops and fun things to do. This is one of the greatest parts of the District -the ability to coordinate our efforts and utilize our joint marketing power to support each other. Together, we are a destination - especially on 2nd Saturdays!

All our businesses are invited to plan something special each month.  The District will promote all the events:
  • In our e-newsletter
  • Through a monthly Press Release

  • On a Monthly Map
