Discover Greater Ashmont
Our mission is to cultivate Greater Ashmont as an attractive, thriving, and connected neighborhood through our work as a responsive nonprofit organization.
We strive to maintain a welcoming streetscape that encourages foot traffic, promote a diverse business mix that supports a vibrant local economy, and host events that foster relationships and encourage collaboration across our community.
We are guided by both data and community feedback to ensure we remain responsive to the needs of our district.
Call for vendors!
We are looking for food and craft vendors to sell their items at the 11th annual Ashmont Holiday Market! The Holiday Market is on #SmallBusinessSaturday, and is always a popular place for neighbors to kick off their holiday shopping. The market events leads right into the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in Ashmont Plaza, one of Dorchester's favorite holiday traditions.
WHEN:
Saturday, November 29
3-7 PM
WHERE:
Parish of All Saints
209 Ashmont St
Dorchester, MA 02124
Swap Fest
Join us for a back-to-school Swap Fest, where you can bring what you don’t need anymore, and take what you do. We are looking for neighbors to donate books, clothing (especially school uniforms), and other items that might be helpful for school-aged-kids (like lunchboxes and water bottles).
Is there a hole in your jeans? A snag in your sweater? Bring your clothes to our mending station and our volunteers will teach you how to extend the life of your clothes.
WHEN:
Saturday, September 12 | 1-5 PM
WHERE:
Ashmont Plaza
Business Breakfasts
Every month, we host an informal networking breakfast for business owners to get to know each other. These events are free and open to all local entrepreneurs, business support professionals, and creatives in the Dorchester area.
