The Downtown Alliance of Milwaukie (DAM) is a collaborative organization dedicated to making Downtown Milwaukie a vibrant, inviting, and memorable destination for locals and visitors alike. We work with local businesses, property owners, and community members to foster a lively downtown that reflects the unique spirit of our city.
Our mission is to enhance the walkability, appeal, and accessibility of downtown, support small businesses, and create events and experiences that bring people together. From seasonal festivals to public art initiatives, DAM helps shape a downtown that is both economically thriving and culturally rich.
We embrace the quirky, friendly, and energetic character of Milwaukie, celebrating everything from our iconic geese and cherries to the scenic views along the Willamette River. At DAM, we believe a strong downtown isn’t just a place—it’s a community hub, a meeting point for neighbors, friends, and visitors to connect, explore, and create lasting memories.
Get involved with DAM—whether you’re a business owner, resident, or visitor, there’s a place for you in our mission to make Downtown Milwaukie an exciting, welcoming destination.
