Building a Downtown Together
Get involved and be a part of downtown's success story.
Everyone benefits from a prosperous, vibrant downtown. Our community was a much different place when HDR got started than where it is today. Downtown’s success comes from having an organization lead the charge and having the support and participation of dedicated customers, partners, business owners, and volunteers.
Together, we keep downtown’s momentum going. Help continue writing downtown’s success story by getting involved in our organization.

Destination Downtown: HMTA’s Inaugural Play-A-Thon
May 1, 2019 by
You may have noticed that Downtown Harrisonburg was a bit more magical on the afternoon of April 13th — the piano in front of the library and music filling the air were brought to you courtesy of the Harrisonburg Music Teachers Association, who were hosting their inaugural Play-A-Thon. Made possible by a Destination Downtown grant from HDR and generous sponsorships from Whitesel Music and the Massanutten Regional Library, the Play-A-Thon hoped to bring people from all generations and walks of life together to enjoy and create art in the heart of Downtown Harrisonburg. I recently sat down with EMU professor and HMTA president David Berry to learn more about this uniquely creative and community-building event.
