FAQ’S

People with passion for Downtown – we need you! A Downtown Affair last year brought many people together to work towards the same goal – their LOVE for Downtown. It’s a fundraiser for Fredericksburg VA Main Street.  A Downtown Affair was a success because of the numerous and various talented volunteers that came forward – from chefs to servers to auction paddle creators. It was an event to remember.
