Greetings from the Old Town North Community Partnership
As we work to create a more vibrant, vital, walkable community for those who live, work and own small businesses in Old Town North we are grateful to partner with two other local not-for-profit organizations, the Old Town North Alliance and NOTICe.
Old Town North Community Partnership
This organization was chartered at the conclusion of the first Old Town North Small Area Plan. Its mission was “residents and business working together” to function as a civic association and to review developments that were facilitated by the passage of the plan. Its members fought for public investment and amenities in Old Town North. In the mid-2000s, it was successful in obtaining capital improvements to Montgomery Park, including the gazebo, removal of chain link fencing, and landscaping. Subsequently, OTNCP has taken on the creation of events such as Taste of Old Town North and Dogtoberfest to animate the neighborhood. It also operates the Old Town North Farmers Market that takes place in Montgomery Park on Thursdays.
Winter: 3:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Spring/Fall: 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Summer: 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
The Old Town North Community Partnership publishes a yearly Directory listing local businesses and not for profits in greater Old Town North. Membership is open to local businesses, not for profits and those interested in the mission of the Old Town North Community Partnership.

The Alliance is the newest kid on the block, formed in 2019 to promote the Arts and Cultural District proposed in the Old Town North Small Area Plan adopted in 2017, and to create a distinct identity for Old Town North as a place to live, work, enjoy restaurants, and be healthy. The Alliance co-sponsors events, seeks opportunities for public and private art and streetscape improvements, and coordinates with active developers to add amenities to the neighborhood.
