King & Queen of Hearts
Poker Run

Feb 7 | 11am-5pm

Spend the day exploring Downtown Brandon’s local shops and restaurants while playing a fun, low-key poker run. Participants will visit seven participating locations, drawing a card at each stop to build their best hand.

Once you’ve completed your route, turn in your final hand at the Brandon Main Street Association office located at 143 W. Government Street any time between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM.

There is no charge to play, and all ages are welcome. It’s a great way to support local businesses, discover new favorites, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon in the heart of Brandon.

There's fun for everyone

There’s a little something for everyone with Brandon Main Street Association – from our littlest neighbors to their furry friends.  We strive to create experiences the whole community can enjoy!

Our Events

from the executive director

Welcome to Downtown Brandon — the heart of our community and the home of Brandon Main Street.

It’s an exciting season of growth and momentum for our city. As Executive Director, I’m honored to help lead the work of bringing new energy to our historic downtown while celebrating the local character and hometown pride that make Brandon so special.

Main Street is about people — our small business owners, our partners, our volunteers, and our residents — all working together to create a vibrant, welcoming downtown that reflects who we are. The work we do through Main Street doesn’t stop at the downtown district; it sparks commerce, creativity, and success that reach every corner of Brandon, strengthening the community as a whole.

From community events that bring families together to long-term projects that support economic growth and preserve our charm, every effort is rooted in connection and collaboration.

Downtown Brandon is not just a place to visit; it’s a place to belong. I invite you to be part of what’s happening here — to support our businesses, attend an event, or join us in shaping the future of Main Street. Together, we’re building a downtown that truly represents the spirit of Brandon.
