The Downtown Business and Professional Association is an organization whose main goal is to promote the growth and development of Downtown Minot.  
  The DBPA sponsors several seasonal events to convey to the Minot and surrounding communities that we are a big part of the commercial arena.  Some of these include the Fall Festival, Holiday Open House, Bunny Hop, Halloween Walk and the Wine Walk.  These events are designed to encourage shopping in the downtown area as well using the many professional services available.  
  A secondary goal of the DBPA is for beautification of downtown. The monies received from the Wine Walk have been used for several aesthetic improvements including an outdoor music system, Christmas tree lighting, flower containers, and more.
  We welcome Minot residents and surrounding communities to participate in our events and enjoy our historic atmosphere while you shop and participate in the services offered.  The strength of a city starts with its downtown and The Minot Downtown is alive and well.
