Programs
Growing culture.
Supporting business.
Building community.
Lynn Main Streets’ programs strengthen the heart of our city by investing in the people, places, and creative energy that make Lynn vibrant. Through arts, culture, and placemaking initiatives, we activate public spaces, celebrate local talent, and cultivate a welcoming, beautiful downtown. At the same time, our business and entrepreneurship programs provide hands‑on support, visibility, and resources that help small businesses grow and thrive. Together, these efforts build a more connected, resilient, and dynamic Lynn—one where creativity, community, and economic opportunity flourish side by side.

Lynn Downtown
Banner Program
The Lynn Downtown Banner Program was created by Lynn Main Streets in 2025 with support from the City of Lynn, and the Office of Community Development. The LMS’s banner program: • Identifies the Downtown service area; • Activates the public space; • Adds color and vitality to the Downtown streetscapes ​ A Call for Art for our Downtown Lynn Banner Program occurred during the late Spring of 2025. We are excited to announce the Schneider Narcisse banner submission was selected.

Sidewalk Planter Program
The Sidewalk Planter Program is one of Lynn Main Streets downtown beautification initiatives. The goal is to add planters that will assist in having our downtown decorated throughout the year. The planters will be filled seasonally with natural plantings or greenery. Thank you to the City of Lynn for co-sponsoring this project of beautiful planters in our historic downtown. This project is funded with APRA funds. Interested in having a planter in the front of your business or looking to sponsor this program; click on the link below.
