Main Street Program
Settled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains entrenched in the spirit of the Waldenses, downtown Valdese, just off I-40 in Burke County, welcomes the entrepreneurial spirit to join the 15 new businesses that have opened since 2014. Downtown is forging the future as a safe, balanced, and family oriented third place center that is also devoted to the celebration of its culture, utilization of natural resources, and innovative thinking that guarantees a sustainable future for all people.
The Valdese Community Affairs & Tourism Department works to develop memorable experiences in Downtown Valdese. From annual festivals to daily promotions, the Community Affairs Department works with local merchants, potential business owners, citizens, attractions, and special organizations to not only promote visits to Valdese but to create a quality of life for all citizens to enjoy. The Community Affairs Department operates the Old Rock School, manages the Valdese Main Street Program, and plans and coordinates all Town of Valdese sponsored events - including talent booking while serving as a resource for citizens, businesses, and all other Town Departments.
