At 128 East Main Street, we share offices and services with the GV Chamber which means that we have regular office hours, and staff to meet and greet you and assist with your needs. We invite you to drop in and meet the new team!

The GVDA is preparing to launch the 2022 Thursday Night Market Summer Series! With a new team in place, we're celebrating summer in downtown Grass Valley by enhancing the quality of TNM; curating a variety of special farmers market participants, food and craft vendors, and fabulous entertainment! We're staying within "The T" this year, allowing "open carry" of alcoholic beverages vended by the GVDA, and we feel confident the events will be a roaring success!

The event series presents a wonderful opportunity to showcase your business or organization. Weeks of saturated marketing and promotion of this signature event, dedicated to bringing the community to downtown Grass Valley, and attention to your business!
