A few weeks ago, the DBA board and staff gathered for our biannual Board Retreat to talk about where our organization is headed and what we hope to accomplish in the year (or years!) ahead.

First, a little friendly competition: we split into two trivia teams. One team went by the Bremelocos, because we’re all a little crazy for Bremerton. It was a close contest, but team “and Jim” took the title. Everyone still walked away a winner, with Bremerton-themed prizes sourced at Ballast Book Co..

Of course, it wasn’t all fun and games. After trivia, we reviewed our financials and broke into small groups to dream big and turn those dreams into real action plans for downtown Bremerton. One of the ideas we’re most excited about is our new micro-grant program, and we can’t wait to share more soon.

There’s so much we hope to do for downtown, but we know we can’t do it alone. If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now is a great time. We’re looking for new board members to join the DBA starting in 2027, as well as volunteers to help with events all year long.

Interested? Head to the link in bio and look for the Board of Directors Application. We’d love to dream with you.

The giant skeleton friend outside the Kitsap History Museum has just one question: are you ready? 💀

Trick-or-Treat Street returns to downtown Bremerton this Halloween! On Saturday, October 31, from 5:00 to 7:30 PM, downtown businesses will be handing out candy along Pacific Ave and 4th Street. Expect haunted businesses, a live DJ, Touch-a-Truck, and candy for days. 🍬

Still missing a cape, a crown or a pair of fangs? Our friends at the Charleston Business District are hosting a FREE Costume Closet at Calloween this Saturday, October 24 from 5 - 8 pm. It’s the perfect stop for those final touches!

Fair warning: local celebrities have been known to make an appearance (iykyk). But don’t get your hopes up for a sighting. Under all those costumes, you might walk right past one and never know.

Thanks to Kitsap Credit Union for sponsoring this year’s Trick-or-Treat Street!

Get all the details at the link in our bio, then grab your costume, your candy bucket, and your crew. We’ll see you downtown!

Rex has tiny arms 🦖 but we have arm extenders!

This Saturday, we’re giving downtown Bremerton some pre-Halloween TLC at our Downtown Tidy Up, so every T-rex, pirate and pint-sized police officer at Trick-or-Treat Street can strut (and sword fight) down clean streets.

🗓️ Saturday, October 24 | 1:00–2:00 PM
📍 Meet outside the Kitsap History Museum

From there, we’ll spread out along 4th Street and Pacific Avenue. Gloves, bags, grabbers and safety vests are provided, so just wear closed-toe shoes and bring your good vibes. It’s free and open to all ages, and families are welcome! Anyone under 18 needs to come with an adult, who will sign a waiver for them.

Afterward, stick around for a casual social hour with the Tidy-Up Crew.

Come lend downtown a hand before the trick-or-treaters arrive. See you Saturday!

Downtown's streateries are on the clock. The City has asked that they be removed by October 15, so DBA has sent the City a partnership proposal backed by an initial $30,000 to keep outdoor dining safe, accessible and open.

Our plan: safety checks now, interim permits through April 30, 2027, a permanent outdoor dining program, and DBA-funded standard designs so restaurants know exactly what to build. The goal is a better outdoor dining season starting May 1, 2027.
Read the full plan on our blog, and grab a table outside downtown while you still can.

There’s nothing quite like being in a room with people who genuinely care about Bremerton.

When we gather, it’s all about exchanging ideas and diving into what the DBA is working on alongside the projects you want to see happen.

If you’re looking to make a difference in our community, we’re here to provide the space, resources, and framework to help turn those ideas into real action. From downtown beautification to event planning support, there’s a place for everyone to jump in.

Join us next week for our October Team Bremerton meeting. We gather on the third Thursday of every month from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, and this month we’re meeting at Cups Espresso on Pacific and Fourth. A huge thank you to the team at Cups for hosting us and providing a welcoming place to connect.

Come as you are, bring your ideas, and let’s keep building our community together.
