Batavia MainStreet
With the help of dedicated volunteers, the Batavia MainStreet program is the pulse that pumps revitalization into Batavia’s downtown by working with property owners and area brokers to help retain and recruit businesses.
Working with the City of Batavia, The Batavia Chamber of Commerce, and the Batavia Park District, MainStreet organizes a number of events throughout the year including the annual Block Party and Taste of Batavia, a Halloween-themed child-focused event called BatFest, Cocktails in the Park, Oktoberfest and Second Fridays in Downtown Batavia.
The nonprofit organization provides community services like the Saturday morning farmers market on North River Street complete with food stamp accessibility, the Artisan Collective, a showcase for local artisans to display and sell their wares, and everyday community information. Batavia MainStreet also partners with the city’s Environmental Commission to put on the annual WellBatavia Event and with the city’s Bike Commission to promote Bike Batavia.
