EVENT SPONSORSHIPS
DOWNTOWN BLOCK PARTY
With the streets closed the day before the annual Celebrate Hillsboro event almost a decade ago, businesses decided to start their own event by claiming the walkable blocks created by the street closures, adding live music, extending their hours, and inviting the community. This tradition became known as the Downtown Block Party, and we are glad to be the presenters of this event. With over 800 people in attendance last year, we intend to make the party even bigger in 2020!

SAFE N SANE HALLOWEEN
The story goes that more than three decades ago, Downtown Hillsboro businesses joined together to host the only business district trick or treat event in the nation. It even got national news coverage for being innovative in the era of crazy trick or treating stories. And ever since then, the businesses have been inviting kids and their families in the well-lit shopping district along Main Street. We continue the tradition of closing the street to vehicular traffic to make it even safer.
