Castle Rock Downtown Merchants Association

The DMA was incorporated in 2003 with only seven members. It has grown to more than 100 members who share a vision of keeping downtown the heart of Castle Rock. Downtown Castle Rock is a great place to shop, dine and conduct business, as well as celebrate the history of the town and the spirit of the community.

The DMA, with the support of the Town, the DDA and a group of valuable corporate sponsors, produce an annual Outdoor Events Series. This eight-event fun, family-friendly series is free to the public, and brings thousands of residents and visitors into downtown.

Downtown is the heart of Castle Rock, and it is home to several of the community’s most-loved events. Find farm-fresh vegetables, local honey and more at the Farmers Market running on Saturdays during the summer. Bring the kids out to watch their favorite movies on the big outdoor screen beginning in June. Feel community and national pride as you watch the Douglas County Fair Parade roll through the streets of Downtown Castle Rock in August. Buy a piece of fine art at Artfest. Even see Santa and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa for the annual Starlighting. These events and so many more will keeping you coming back to Downtown Castle Rock.

Events downtown are organized by several different organizations, with the Downtown Merchants Association organizing eight of those events. Check the Events link on our website to see those eight events, as well as events organized by other groups - all taking place in the heart of Castle Rock.
