Dubuque Main Street is a non-profit organization that has served as the voice and
backbone of downtown for forty years. Our mission is to strengthen the heart
of Dubuque by helping small businesses, property owners, and local creatives
succeed. Through events, grants, promotion, and direct business support, we
work every day to foster a downtown that feels alive, welcoming, and connected.
Founded in 1985 as part of the original National Urban Main Street pilot program,
Dubuque Main Street was built on the belief that small steps can lead
to big change. That same belief continues to guide us today as we focus on
efficiency, collaboration, and long-term community growth.
