Nestled along the banks of the Nashua River, our downtown blends historic charm with bold artistic expression. With more than 60 murals, public sculptures throughout the city, and venues like the Nashua Center for the Arts, ActorSingers, Nashua Theater Guild, and Symphony NH, Downtown Nashua is where art, culture, food, and community converge.

Great American Downtown is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing and revitalizing this vibrant downtown district. We connect people, businesses, and experiences through strategic placemaking, community programming, and signature events that bring thousands into the heart of the city. From our award-winning farmers market to seasonal festivals and culinary events, there’s something happening downtown every week.

With award-winning restaurants, seven craft breweries, gourmet coffee shops, craft-cocktail bars, and a constantly evolving arts scene, Downtown Nashua is a destination for locals and visitors alike. Just 45 minutes from Boston and within an hour of New Hampshire’s lakes, mountains, and trails, Nashua is the perfect launchpad for creativity, exploration, and connection.

We exist to grow foot traffic, support local businesses, and foster the cultural and economic vitality of downtown Nashua—because when downtown thrives, our community thrives.
