Who we are.

The Downtown Waxhaw Association (DWA) is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization that champions the heart of Waxhaw.

As stewards of our past and advocates for our future, we bring people, ideas, and partners together to strengthen downtown as a place to live, work, and gather.

At our core, our vision is simple: to make people feel good in downtown spaces.

When we create experiences that connect people to place, the result is stronger businesses, meaningful memories, and a downtown that grows with purpose, pride, and people at the center.

What we do.

We believe great downtowns don’t happen by chanceβ€”they happen by choice. Through the nationally recognized Main Street Program, we focus on:

  • Supporting small businesses through promotions, shop-local campaigns, and resources.

  • Preserving heritage by honoring Waxhaw’s history, traditions, and unique character.

  • Creating opportunities with events, partnerships, and public space improvements that welcome everyone.

  • Building community pride by fostering collaboration, creativity, and a shared vision for the future.
