2025 Kansas Main Street Awards<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

On March 16, 2026 the Kansas Department of Commerce held the first inaugural Kansas Main Street Awards honoring the individuals and organizations across the state for their excellence in growing our main street communities. The Kansas Main Street Awards celebrate Kansas\u2019 Main Streets and their partners by honoring leaders in the community who have made significant contributions to our downtown\u2019s economic growth \u2014 and those who continue to inspire others to make similar impacts across Kansas. These exceptional communities have distinguished themselves through an unwavering commitment to historic preservation, education, and economic development. Year after year, they demonstrate the dedication and excellence required to earn annual accreditation from the state of Kansas and designation by the National Main Street Center \u2014 a recognition that places them, among the best downtown programs in the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through their tireless efforts, these communities have transformed their downtown into active, vibrant destinations \u2014 honoring the history and character of their districts while building a strong and thriving economic future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
