Dear Friends,

Summer is here. The Flowers are BLOOMing. And the Downtown Brattleboro Alliance (DBA) is buzzing with excitement as we kick off another year of First Friday Gallery Walks! These cherished and long-standing programs are integral to the vibrancy of downtown Brattleboro, spreading joy and enlivening our community spaces.

Your support matters. For a limited time, YOUR DOLLARS WILL BE DOUBLED! When you donate, a generous donor will match your dollar for dollar to double your impact. Please give today.

Bloom

Brightening our downtown streets with flowers is no small feat. This longstanding DBA initiative adds beauty to our public spaces and brightens everyone’s day. The program costs $21,000 annually and relies on your support.

First Fridays & Gallery Walk

We're back for the 2025 season, hosting the ultimate event for ART and COMMUNITY. First Fridays festivities include food trucks, live music, a makers market & more every month from May to October. Gallery Walks invite our community to explore downtown galleries and shops year-round and especially on the First Friday of each month. This FREE public event is a significant part of the DBA budget.

Please help support these free programs with a donation today!

Behind the scenes, our “small but mighty” team of 1.5 staff, dedicated volunteers and board members work tirelessly to make this all possible. Your generous contribution ensures we can continue offering these programs free of charge – keeping downtown Brattleboro alive with energy and connection.

Let’s bloom together with a one-time gift or monthly pledge at any level.

Please consider making a donation of any amount today to support DBA and the programs that bring our town to life. As a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization, every contribution makes a difference. Our downtown designation status provides our base funding annually, and we are responsible for raising the remaining 70% of our operating costs through grants, sponsorships, earned revenue, and generous donations from you.

Join us and share this campaign with others who want to see our work continue to thrive!

Many Thanks,

Kate Trzaskos
Executive Director,
Downtown Brattleboro Alliance
