🎉 Main Street Laurens has once again earned National Accreditation through Main Street America!!

Out of 1,291 designated programs nationwide, only 838 achieved Accredited status in 2026—and Main Street Laurens is proud to be 1️⃣ of only 5️⃣ accredited Main Street programs in South Carolina. That achievement speaks volumes about the dedication and commitment of our community.

This recognition reflects the hard work of our board members, volunteers, local government partners, business owners, property owners, sponsors, and supporters who believe in the mission of Main Street and the work we do every day to strengthen Downtown Laurens.👏🏼

Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and investment in our downtown. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️

Congratulations to South Carolina's 5️⃣ Nationally Accredited Main Street America™ programs for 2026:

👏 Aiken, Aiken Downtown Development Association
👏 Florence, Downtown Florence
👏 Greenwood, Uptown Greenwood
👏 Hartsville, Main Street Hartsville
👏 Laurens, Main Street Laurens

This year, Main Street America recognized 1,291 designated programs nationwide, with 838 earning Accredited status - the highest designation. Accredited communities demonstrate excellence in community engagement, organizational capacity, preservation-based economic development, strategic programming, sustainable operations, and measurable results.

These five South Carolina communities continue to set the standard for downtown revitalization, proving that strong partnerships, local leadership, historic preservation, and a commitment to place create lasting impact.

Thank you to the staff, board members, volunteers, local governments, business owners, and community partners who make this achievement possible. Your work strengthens not only your downtowns, but the Main Street movement across South Carolina.

We are excited to share our amazing lineup of vendors for the 2026 Laurens Farmers Market season!

One thing that makes our market special is that many of our vendors choose which market days they attend throughout the season.

From fresh produce and baked goods to jams, local honey, handcrafted items, and so much more, there will always be something new to discover at the market.

📅 Watch for our weekly vendor spotlights and attendance lists.
❤️ Support local farmers, makers, and small businesses.
🛍️ Shop fresh. Shop local. Shop Laurens.
