YOUR Downtown!
Since 1967,
the New Braunfels Downtown Association, Inc. has served the community
and endeavored to preserve and enhance the Heart of New Braunfels...our
Downtown. Initially known as the New Braunfels Merchants Association,
then the Downtown Association of New Braunfels, in 1999 the Association
was formally incorporated to become the New Braunfels Downtown Association,
Inc. Through the years the association has grown from a membership
of 12 committed merchants to over 100 members. Our membership includes
a variety of people who represent retailers, service professionals,
government and financial groups, building owners and caring individuals.
Those who have a keen interest in the continued growth, development,
and historical preservation of our Downtown are encouraged to make
an investment of their time, talents and monies.
For over
35 years members of the Association have initiated and supported numerous
programs to foster beautification, economic growth and prosperity in
Downtown New Braunfels, including: the Heritage Walk around the Plaza;
installation of sidewalks, antique lighting, benches and trees throughout
Downtown; the Christmas Tree Lighting and Santa's Arrival
on
the Plaza; Wassailfest and Fifth Saturday celebrations; educational
seminars and informative monthly membership meetings; and a new website.
Affordable advertising specials are developed by working with area
media representatives. Our Membership, Advertising, Publicity and Special
Events committees give each member of the Downtown Association the
opportunity to invest in Downtown New Braunfels and to leverage our
funds to help each other. The Downtown Association is a major supporter
and host to several annual community events, including Festtage, Plaza
Tree Lighting and Wassailfest.

of the New Braunfels Downtown Association, Inc. are also members of
the Texas Downtown Association. The state organization assists members
by communicating with city, county, state and federal representatives
