At the heart of it all

WELCOME TO MAIN STREET!

OUR MISSION

Peabody Main Streets works to cultivate a great place to live, an enjoyable place to visit and a supportive environment to build a business. 

 And so far, we have been pretty successful. 

Since 2016, Peabody has welcomed many new businesses to Main Street and the transformation and revitalization of Downtown continues to put our community on the map as a top destination on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

WE LOVE LOCAL

We’re a huge supporter of small business! Won’t you join us? 

Did you know? 67 cents of every dollar spent at a local shop or service goes right back into the community? It’s always great to shop local and support small businesses!

Main Street is a community of over 100 businesses strong, including the surrounding corridor of Walnut Street, Central/Foster Street and the Washington Street Historical District.   A growing list of services including barbershops and salons, dentists, tailors. banks and drug stores complete a one stop shopping experience right on Main Street.   

DOWN ON MAIN STREET

Make a day of it on Main Street! Grab lunch or dinner to go and enjoy a sunny day at Leather City Commons Park or East End Veterans Memorial Park, two beautiful parks adjacent to Main Street.   

Catch up on your reading at the Peabody Institute Library or take a dance lesson at Dance with Dena.   

Pamper and relax at a long list of beauty and barber salons and nail spas. 

Get creative at Create & Escape or visit the gallery at Arc Works Community Art Center.   

Planning your next great event? Downtown Peabody is home to Peabody’s Black Box Theater, Olio Industrial Event Space, the Knights of Columbus and Holy Ghost Society banquet halls.  You may see brides and grooms in the middle of Main Street taking photos as we’ve been host to weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversary celebrations and more.  With convenient free parking, it’s easy to celebrate with us! Visit their pages on social media because they are award-winning event spaces that are nationally recognized.   We’re impressed; you should be too! 

Speaking of celebrations!  Visit our EVENTS page and come on down to Main Street for our special events and seasonal celebrations and bring the entire family! Peabody Main Streets plays host to many family-friendly community events year-round, including Pop Up Pub, the Summer Concert Series, Nightmare on Main Street and Pizza Fest.   And don’t forget that Peabody is home to the North Shore’s longest-running festival, The International Festival, a 30+ year tradition that brings us visitors from all of New England to experience the best in worldwide cuisine, art and live entertainment.
