Program areas at Cape Charles Main Street
Cape Charles Main Street held its main yearly program event, Festive Fridays (the Fridays between Thanksgiving and Christmas) from 5-8 each Friday. The purpose was to attract visitors to shop, stay and play in Cape Charles' Historic District. Visitors were treated to free carriage rides, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, snow, free music, free movies, free face painting and jugglers.
Cape Charles Main Street continued its general efforts to promote the Cape Charles historic district to include website hosting costs, social media content development, and website content development and smaller community events.
Streetscape beautification design and implementation projects were carried out during the fiscal year to help make the Cape Charles Historic District a more beautiful and appealing place to shop, stay and play. The major project, among several others, was moving a historic train to a new, more prominent location in the Historic District.
Other program services include salaries and wages, conference and meetings, information technology, and occupancy expenses which are not directly related to a specific program, but support the general objectives of organization to promote the Town of Cape Charles.
