Maryland’s many Main Streets are the heart of our most vibrant and welcoming communities. The 2025 Main Street Maryland Conference, organized by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and MEDA, celebrates the people, places, and possibilities that make these historic downtowns thrive. This year, the conference will be held in Easton—one of Maryland’s first designated Main Streets—for two days of inspiration, connection, and community-building.
