In 1997, the City of Crestview applied, and was approved, for a Main Street Program designation by the Secretary of State. In 1998, the City of Crestview hired a full time Main Street Program Director and assisted in the establishment of the Main Street Crestview Association, Inc. Today's current program is embraced not only statewide but nationwide. To the community MSCA throws memorable events such as Triple B, Fall Festival, 4th of July Celebration & Party in the Park, as well as the Christmas Parade to name a few. MSCA is so much more than throwing events but strives to cultivate and enhance downtown redevelopment as well as join alongside partners to assist with grants, publicity, and growth. Membership consists of business owners, citizens, and other interested parties desiring to revitalize the downtown area.
