Historic Downtown Escondido, established in 1886, is the Cultural Heart of San Diego North County. Enjoy numerous art galleries and studios, live theaters, the world-renowned Mingei International Museum, a Children's Museum, The Escondido History Center and California Center for the Arts.

The Downtown Business Association of Escondido (DBA) oversees a comprehensive Downtown Revitalization Program, following the National Main Street approach, for a 68 square block area in Downtown Escondido. This assessment district was organized in 1989, at the request of business owners, to promote the business environment in the district. Its programs cover:
- Marketing
- Special Events
- Design Guidance and Historic Preservation
- Economic Development
- Security and Maintenance Advocacy
- Community Enhancement
The DBA is also the steward of the Business Improvement District. The BID ensures the continuance of on-going business advocacy, revitalization efforts, and promotion in Downtown Escondido on behalf of every business located in the BID.
We welcome businesses and the community to save us as a contact on these outlets to be able to stay updated on future DBA events!
