Alley on Main
The Alley on Main project is a collaborative effort between Main Street Atmore and the City of Atmore that transformed a once-neglected alley into a vibrant public space and downtown landmark. Featuring restored brickwork, lighting, art installations, seating, and landscaping, the project reflects the city’s Arts & Entertainment District vision and strong community partnership.
Downtown Branding
A branding guide is important for a Main Street program because it creates a consistent, professional identity for the entire downtown. It helps unify businesses and stakeholders, strengthens marketing efforts, builds trust and recognition, and makes promotions more effective. Ultimately, it ensures the downtown is presented in a clear, intentional way that attracts visitors, investment, and community support.
1st Thursdays
Artmore Sip & Stroll is a vibrant First Thursday event in Downtown Atmore where the community comes together to enjoy late-night shopping, live music, local art, and wine tastings. From 4:30 PM until evening, visitors can stroll downtown, explore local businesses, and experience a lively, family-friendly atmosphere filled with food, fun, and unique finds.
Celebrity Waiter
Celebrity Waiter is Main Street Atmore’s signature annual fundraiser, bringing the community together for a high-energy evening of food, entertainment, and local star power at David’s Catfish House in Atmore. Popular in communities nationwide, Celebrity Waiter events feature local leaders, business professionals, athletes, and public figures stepping into the role of waiters for the night, creating a fun and interactive dining experience while raising money for meaningful local causes.
Throughout the evening, celebrity waiters compete to earn the most “tips” from guests, with proceeds directly supporting Main Street Atmore initiatives and downtown revitalization efforts. Waiters often entertain their tables with themed costumes, decorations, friendly competitions, and playful antics, making every table a unique experience. Guests can join in the excitement by tipping generously to support their favorite waiter, earn perks, or simply take part in the fun.
Adding to the entertainment, the evening will feature karaoke, where anyone can become a celebrity for the night. Guests are encouraged to sing their favorite songs, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and celebrate alongside friends, family, and community members.
Celebrity Waiter has become a favorite fundraising tradition in Atmore, with Main Street Atmore proudly continuing the event as a memorable night of laughter, community spirit, and giving back. Gather your friends and family and join us for one of Atmore’s most exciting annual events while helping invest in the future of Downtown Atmore.
