All About Main Street Eureka Springs
Our History & The District
Starting in 2007, the City of Eureka Springs signed a resolution to start a Downtown Network organization as a partner to the city, but a separate 501c3. In 2011, the organization moved from a part-time program to a fully accredited Main Street Organization. The district was approved by Main Street Arkansas. Every business within the district is automatically part of the Main Street initiative. See the district.
