This year we unveiled our second Downtown Art Installation. We partnered with DeKalb County Water & Soil and used Sechler's Pickle barrels to transform 15 barrels into rain barrels painted by local artists, and sponsored by local businesses. Main Street unveiled this exhibit during the Summer Parade & Festival, and will auction these beautiful pieces of art off at our Fall Festival, October 18, 2025. The proceeds will be split between the artist and Main Street. We will use the funds earned to go toward next year's art exhibit. We invite you to explore and learn more about the work we do, and how you can help us make a difference.
