Upcoming Events:

20th Annual Adopt A Veteran

We want to help our servicemen and women who may not have a family to share Christmas with by taking their Christmas lists and having the community purchase those gifts. 
Pick up a star from the participating businesses and organizations or donated to the Canteen books.

Military &  Veteran Banner Program

The Marshalltown Central Business District is pleased to be accepting applications for the banner program that recognizes and honors those who are serving or have served in the United States Armed Forces. The program is intended to recognize and show appreciation for veterans and military personnel and their families who have ties to Marshalltown. ​

Current Fundraiser:

MCBD Investment Campaign 

Marshalltown is a community made of up believers and doers like you. And at the heart of it all is our historic downtown. While the Marshalltown Central Business District (MCBD) continues to actively promote downtown businesses and events, we need your help to sustain the mission.
​​Your investment in the downtown allows the MCBD to help our downtown building and business owners secure grant funding from state and local owners with access to small businesses and retail resources, like training and technical support from Main Street Iowa experts. 

​All this helps keep out historic downtown businesses both strong and beautiful. Together we can achieve our vision of making downtown Marshalltown the place to shop, eat, work, and play.
