The new Silver Spring Downtown website offers information about what is happening in downtown, new restaurants, community events, and festivals.

Silver Spring Regional Director Reemberto Rodriguez told Montgomery Community Media the new online portal is the official website for the Silver Spring Regional Area- a Montgomery County region which is south of the beltway, east to the Prince George’s County line, south to the Washington, D.C., line and west to Rock Creek Park.

Rodriguez’s weekly News-U-Can-Share and Sample Happenings has more details about events in Silver Spring and surrounding areas.

He says much has changed in downtown in recent years, including the number of people who visit the area.

“One of the biggest changes is the number of feet in Silver Spring has more than quadruple. … The Fillmore [for instance] brings at least two thousand people routinely to Silver Spring,” he said.

Rodriguez added that places like the Silver Spring Civic Building and Veteran’s Plaza had a major impact on the growth of Silver Spring. He also praised community events like the Maker Faire, Fenton Street Market, and ethnic festivals.
