Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO SERVE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY BY ACTING AS A CATALYST FOR THE REVITALIZATION OF DOWNTOWN ELIZABETH CITY AND THE WATERFRONT, WHILE PRESERVING ITS HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER.
ELIZABETH CITY DOWNTOWN'S PRIMARY EVENT IS THE NORTH CAROLINA POTATO FESTIVAL. THIS DOWNTOWN FESTIVAL IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. LAST YEAR WE ESTIMATED APPROXIMATELY 25,000 IN ATTENDANCE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE FAMILY-FRIENDLY EVENT IS FROM 10AM TO 10PM AND INVOLVES ARTS & CRAFTS VENDORS, FOOD VENDORS, AMUSEMENT RIDES FOR KIDS, EDUCATIONAL EXHIBITS, A CAR SHOW, GAMES, LIVE MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT ON TWO STAGES, AND CONTESTS SUCH AS THE NATIONAL POTATO PEELING CONTEST. ALSO, THE 2010 NC POTATO FESTIVAL WAS RECOGNIZED AS THE "BEST DOWNTOWN SPECIAL EVENT" IN THE STATE BY THE NORTH CAROLINA MAIN STREET CENTER IN RALEIGH AT A SPECIAL AWARDS RECEPTION HELD IN SHELBY, NC JANUARY 2011.
ECDI OFFERS MATCHING FAADE GRANTS TO DOWNTOWN BUSINESS AND/OR PROPERTY OWNERS WHO WANT TO IMPROVE AND REHABILITATE THE FACADES OF THEIR HISTORIC BUILDINGS. OUR MOST RECENT GRANT AWARDS WERE FOR NEW AWNINGS ON DOWNTOWN BUILDINGS WHERE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN DAMAGED OR DESTROYED.
THE SUMMER MARINER'S WHARF FILM FESTIVAL THAT TAKES PLACE EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT IN JUNE AND JULY HAS ALSO CONTINUED TO BRING APPROX. 200 PEOPLE TO OUR BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN MARINER'S WHARF PARK. THE CLASSIC FILMS SHOWN OUTDOORS FOR FREE HAVE BEEN A LARGE DRAW FOR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS OF ALL AGES, AND MANY ATTENDEES PURCHASE THEIR DINNER AT LOCAL DOWNTOWN RESTAURANTS BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS.
