The Commons is a space that is loved and protected. Designed and used by the community, it reflects the heart of downtown. We meet there every Wednesday, strolling between aisles of vegetables, fruit, and flowers, with the rare sense of well being that comes from being together.

Our Mission
Downtown Commons Advocates is a broad group of Santa Cruz business owners and community members who advocate for a downtown public commons— including an improved permanent home for the Farmers Market— at the existing Cedar Street location.
Our Vision
We see a Downtown Commons that offers a much needed public space for the community in downtown Santa Cruz. It would offer a public gathering place, a location for cultural performances and art, and a permanent facility for the Downtown Farmers’ Market, the Antique Faire, and similar events. A Downtown Commons will enhance the enjoyment and well-being of residents, and attract visitors to a revitalized downtown business community.
