When: October 7-8, 2025
Where: Downtown Easton, Maryland
Theme: Great Places Win: Powering People, Places, and Possibility
Registration Deadline: September 30, 2025
Maryland’s many Main Streets are the heart of our most vibrant and welcoming communities. The 2025 Main Street Maryland Conference, organized by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and MEDA, celebrates the people, places, and possibilities that make these historic downtowns thrive. This year, the conference will be held in Easton—one of Maryland’s first designated Main Streets—for two days of inspiration, connection, and community-building.
Conference sessions will take place at multiple venues throughout downtown Easton. All locations are within easy walking distance, so we encourage you to wear comfortable shoes and enjoy the short strolls between sessions.
