Whether you can commit several hours per month, or only a few minutes a day, there are lots of ways to get involved with Downtown Frostburg and its Main Street revitalization efforts!
1. Show Up
There are lots of major events that happen throughout the year in Downtown Frostburg. Arts Walk in the spring, Small Business Saturday in the fall, and Storybook Holiday in December are just a few of the downtown city-wide celebrations that happen year after year. Show your support for these events by showing up! Check out our community calendar for an up-to-date listing of what’s going on downtown.
2. Join A Committee
FrostburgFirst manages several committees who work to improve the quality of our city’s downtown experience. While our Membership and Fundraising committees are limited to representatives from our business members, our Marketing/Promotions, Arts & Entertainment, and Arts Walk committees are open to members of the public who would like to get involved in a more hands-on way. Email us to find out how you can make a measurable difference in our community!
3. Volunteer
Volunteers are crucial to our downtown’s success. From the Lamppost Committee who preps and hangs our downtown holiday decorations to event planning committees, FrostburgFirst is always looking for volunteers to assist with event programming, set-up and tear down, downtown clean-up days, graphic design assistance, and committee involvement. Head over to our Volunteer page to sign up!
