Downtown St. Catharines Do More in the Core
The core is the place to celebrate – just check out our listing of downtown events. From webinars, online concerts and events to live downtown experiences taking place with attention to health and safety protocols for COVID-19, you can do more in the core throughout the year.
The St. Catharines Downtown Association invites everyone to do more in the core. We have resources for our more than 400 member businesses in the Business Improvement Area (BIA), and work to improve and beautify our city centre and to spread the word about our vibrant and varied downtown.
