The Downtown Palatine Business Association (DPBA) is made up of more than two dozen businesses and organizations located in downtown Palatine. The organization’s mission is to provide opportunities for member businesses to join forces as they promote their products and/or services, while engaging local and area community members through yearly events that encourage commerce.
The DPBA hosts/presents community events that are open to the public each year, including: Girls on the Town, which is held on the third Friday in April, the annual Sidewalk Sales in late May/early June, the Sweet Pea Pet Parade held on the Sunday during Palatine Street Fest, and Holidays on the Town on the Friday night before Thanksgiving. The DPBA core membership area is bordered on the north by Colfax Street, on the west by Smith Street, on the south by Palatine Road and on the east by Plum Grove Road. Associate members are also able to join the organization, but their business must be located in the Village of Palatine.
