“Downtown is a great place to shop," states Patrick Hoskins, Board President of Silver City MainStreet. "In addition to twenty-three galleries, downtown Silver City has twenty-three eateries, more than twenty retail shops and five antique shops. And don’t forget the Silco Theater, a beautifully restored movie theater. If you have not been downtown in awhile, Small Business Saturday is the perfect day to shop downtown with the participating businesses offering special deals. The Lighted Christmas Parade is that evening and will begin at 7 p.m. We also have brand new holiday decorations to make downtown festive. If you have out-of-town guests, bring them downtown and have some fun shopping and watching the parade.”

The mission of Silver City MainStreet is "To encourage a vibrant, historic downtown Silver City which is recognized as the heart of our diverse community." Please visit our website here to learn more.
