What’s Up Downtown - Summer 2026

About this event

Alton Main Street’s quarterly information exchange, “What’s Up Downtown”, will be held on Tuesday, August 11th at 5:30 p.m. at The Wedge, located at 620 E. Broadway. We will be moving the event upstairs to the 4th Floor in Classroom 402 to help with acoustics.

The public is invited to learn the latest news regarding developments in Alton’s historic downtown district, including updates from new & existing businesses, news on real estate transactions, and details of upcoming events and projects.

Check back soon for the evening’s featured speakers!

What's Up Downtown is a casual forum that is free and open to the public. Attendees will be brought up to date by Alton Main Street, City officials, and other stakeholders. After the featured speakers, the floor is opened to anyone who has news to share about what’s happening with their business or organization. Attendees will enjoy complimentary refreshments as well as networking with other downtown enthusiasts.

If you would like to get involved with the many ways that Alton Main Street volunteers are working to promote the district and improve the quality of life in our community, please contact Executive Director, Sara McGibany, at 618-463-1016 or email sara@altonmainstreet.org.
