What we do

What we can do for your town.

We work with towns, chambers, and community organizations to bring big nights to their Main Streets, because when visitors come, every local business wins.

01

Plan the big night

We help your town pick the right event and shape it: fireworks, a concert, a festival, a street fair, a themed weekend, or a holiday celebration worth the drive.

02

Find the money

We bring in sponsors, grants, and donors to pay for it, so your town isn't left carrying the bill alone.

03

Get the word out

We help market it beyond your own zip code, so the crowd includes the visitors you're trying to reach.

04

Make it happen

We work alongside your team on the details that make a big night run, from vendors and volunteers to the night itself.

05

Leave a playbook

Templates, workshops, and what we learned along the way, so your town can do it again on its own.

Wherever your town is

We're based in New Hope, Pennsylvania, but we're happy to travel to your town. If you're farther away, we'll start with a virtual meeting to talk through your Main Street and what you have in mind.

How a spark spreads

  1. A big nightFireworks, a concert, a festival. Something worth the drive.
  2. People comeVisitors from outside the area fill the sidewalks.
  3. They stayDinner, a drink, a shop they didn't know about.
  4. They come backAnd they bring their friends next time.

Our board has done this before

Main Street Spark is new. The people behind it aren't. Before the foundation existed, members of our board led events through the Greater New Hope Chamber of Commerce that drew thousands of visitors to town. A few of the numbers:

10,000+

people at a typical fireworks night on the Delaware River.

5,500+

people at the arts and crafts festival.

50+

local businesses that joined in for Star Wars Day.
