Downtown Bridgeport is a commercial area that represents and serves a diverse tapestry of the wider Bridgeport community. It’s our public parks, independently owned restaurants and shops, and the vibrant arts and culture offerings in the neighborhood that create connection points and foster the sense of community so special to the Downtown and the city.
The Bridgeport DSSD’S cultural programming provides an array of diverse activities that encourage our small businesses, residents, office workers, and visitors to connect and add vibrancy to the Downtown neighborhood, and drives customers to explore and shop Downtown. The connections forged through attendance at these events serve to increase feelings of belonging and pride in the neighborhood.
Each year, we partner with local event producers to enhance our ability to achieve those outcomes. Later in the year we will invite organizations and groups looking to partner with the Bridgeport DSSD to host an event in Downtown Bridgeport to fill out an application form with a description of the event and types of partnership they are seeking. Please check back at the end of the year for the open application.
our achievements owe everything to the support of our community.
