Main Street Check-ins: Brownsburg prepares for a downtown holiday market

BROWNSBURG — A December market and parade will bring vendors to downtown Brownsburg as the town continues planning changes for its Main Street corridor.

The town says its Christmas Under the Stars event will run from 4 to 8 p.m. on Dec. 5, with more than 30 local vendors at Town Hall Green. A 6 p.m. parade is scheduled to travel west along Main Street from Eastern Avenue to Green Street before turning north.

The holiday gathering comes as the town's longer-term Main Street plan remains on the books. Brownsburg says its council adopted a streetscape design in 2021 for the stretch from Green Street to Northfield Drive, including sidewalk and pedestrian-safety improvements. The town's development page does not give a construction schedule for that plan.

The town has also approved a downtown outdoor refreshment area, which would let adults carry qualifying drinks outside within designated boundaries. In August officials said they expected a late-fall launch; its current opening date has not been confirmed.

Recent investment includes a Centier Bank branch that opened at 1000 E. Main St. in January 2025 after renovation of a long-vacant building, according to Discover Brownsburg. The same town publication says florist Queen Anne's Lace moved to a renovated space at 405 E. Main St. in March 2025. Those examples describe individual properties, not a count of downtown vacancies.
