Downtown Business Alliance

The Downtown Business Alliance is a group of business owners and individuals interested in maintaining the integrity of Bastrop’s historic downtown district as a center of community activity, as an attractive and compelling visitor destination, and most importantly, as the heart and pride of a fast-growing city within one of the most historic and naturally unique areas in Texas.

Our membership’s goal is to work with all business and organizations to ensure our old town, our parks, our historic trails and our natural wonders thrive.

The Downtown Business Alliance (DBA), in conjunction with the Texas Main Street Program and the Preserve America Program, is striving to generate interest in and recognition of the heritage and beauty of the area by structuring events held on the streets and in the parks of the historic district.

Historic Downtown Bastrop...Where the Fun Begins!

Drawing the community and businesses together, the Downtown Business Alliance hosts several exciting and fun-filled events. Beginning as early as April, all the way through the end of December, visitors, families, vendors, and downtown businesses participate in Second Saturday "Salebrations", Yesterfest, Pet and Pal Parade, a Halloween extravaganza like none you've ever seen, Veteran's Day Classic Car show, and a lighted Christmas Parade following a tour of historic homes decorated for the holidays. Whew!

There is nothing to compare with the feeling of strolling the streets of this historic community's business district and enjoying an atmosphere that stimulates all the senses with food, laughter, music and pure all-American fun. Everyone will go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
