About Believe in Bristol

As a Certified Main Street Community, Downtown Bristol has more to offer every day — more activities, more shops, more homes, more offices and more LIFE. This progress did not just happen, it is largely thanks to the ongoing unified efforts of businesses, groups, and individuals coordinated through Believe in Bristol.

Believe in Bristol is a non-profit organization, composed of dedicated citizens, business owners, and other friends of Bristol who recognize the role a vital downtown plays in preserving and furthering our communities identity, spirit, and economy. Thanks to the proven Main Street Four Point Approach, Believe in Bristol is making real progress by:

• Organizing broad based community support
• Promoting all that Downtown has to offer
• Preserving and restoring the area's classic architectural design
• Increasing commercial potential through economic restructuring

As a result, Downtown Bristol is now a pedestrian friendly shopping environment, with a strong sense of community and its own unique character.
