Main Street Fairmont

06/11/2026

Main Street Fairmont is back with the return of the Christmas Village & Light Show to the Adams St Greenspace beginning November 28th and running through December 31st.

What began as an exciting new addition to the Hometown Holiday Celebration quickly became a regional attraction and one of the BRIGHTEST spots of our downtown community.

The Village will once again feature handcrafted buildings modeled after local downtown businesses, synchronized lights, and an interactive holiday atmosphere designed to bring even more life, energy, and Holiday spirit to Downtown Fairmont.
Business Sponsorships for this year's project are now OPEN! Please see the commented post for more information, and be on the lookout during the coming months for more sponsorship opportunities.

Adopt-A-Pot is back! 🌸🌷🌻

🌼🌹🌺ADOPT-A-POT IS BACK!🌺🌹🌼

The City of Fairmont invites local businesses to apply to adopt a flowerpot and help us with beautification for the summer!

Returning Adopt-a-Pot Hosts have received theirs this week, and there are a few more pots available for new applicants!

This program is open to business owners in the following areas: Merchant Street, Fairmont Avenue, Morgantown Avenue, East Park Avenue, Adams Street, Monroe Street, Cleveland Avenue.

All applications will be reviewed to verify that they have wide enough sidewalks (with a relatively flat area for placement) in front of the location to allow for ample room for pedestrian traffic.

Applications will be reviewed as submitted and hosts will be notified if they are selected! Hosts will be responsible for the purchase of their own flowers and plants (annuals are highly suggested), watering, and general weeding and maintenance through the season. The City will pick up the planters at the end of the season.
