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.
We Rallied for the Library
On June 18, 2020 over 60 supporters rallied in support of remodeling, renovating and rebuilding the Santa Cruz Downtown Branch Library in it's present location in the downtown Civic Center.
