Welcome to Downtown Annapolis Partnership

Downtown Annapolis Partnership (DAP) is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) Main Street Program™. As a Main Street Program™.  Downtown Annapolis Partnership’s mission is to build a strong, united community of residents, business owners and volunteers to preserve the historic character of downtown Annapolis while being a catalyst for reinvestment and jobs for our local business community.

Downtown Annapolis Partnership is focused on our core commercial area and includes West Street, Church Circle, State Circle, Maryland Avenue, Main Street, Dock Street, Market Space, and City Dock.

Downtown Annapolis Partnership is focused on the Four Point Approach that was created and implemented nationwide by the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Main Street Program™ -- a common sense, strategy-driven framework that guides community-based revitalization efforts. The Main Street Approach™ will harness the social, economic, physical, and cultural assets that set Annapolis apart, and will ultimately lead to tangible outcomes that benefit the entire Annapolis community.

Downtown Annapolis Partnership works in collaboration with the City of Annapolis and leading organizations such as the  Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Conference and Visitors Bureau, the Four Rivers Heritage Area, the United States Naval Academy and Naval Academy Athletic Association, St. John’s College, Historic Annapolis and other organizations to preserve the Annapolis historic culture while creating a unique Annapolis experience that draws visitors and residents into our shops, restaurants and galleries.
