The Downtown Marshall Association (DMA) is a local nonprofit that supports downtown Marshall’s businesses, events, and community initiatives, helping make the town vibrant, welcoming, and thriving.

Anyone with a passion for supporting downtown Marshall… business owners, nonprofits, artists & musicians, or community supporters, can all become DMA members.

Membership dues fund downtown programs, events, promotions, and initiatives that keep the heart of Marshall active and connected.

Members enjoy social media promotion, event listings, website backlinks, group advertising opportunities, and networking with other downtown businesses and supporters.

DMA members can submit events for listing on the DMA calendar and request social media promotion. The easiest solution is to tag us on Instagram and Facebook to have your events shared on Stories, or to add us as a Collaborator on your events posts to show in our social media feeds. Not tech savvy? It’s ok - email us your event details and photos to ilovemarshallnc@gmail.com or ask for a quick tutorial on Social Media sharing

Members are featured with a business description and a link on the DMA’s Plan Your Visit page. After completing your DMA application, submit your information to ilovemarshallnc@gmail.com.

DMA organizes events, promotes businesses, coordinates community initiatives, and creates opportunities for collaboration — all to strengthen downtown as a vibrant, welcoming destination.
