Main Street District (MSD) has been making Soda City’s Main Street a fun place to live, work + play for over 21 years. Cultural events, service projects, and community-wide celebrations are all common sights, with the district additionally being home to many of COLA’s most popular attractions. Think: Soda City Market, First Thursday on Main, Indie Grits Festival, and more.

Looking to spend a day (or night) downtown? Call the “yellow shirts” for a complimentary shuttle to anywhere within the district’s 36-block radius. Running daily from 7 a.m.-11:30 p.m, MSD ambassadors can take you places like:

  • A date night destination
  • Any of the district’s diverse stores or boutiques
  • Events like Arts and Draughts, happening this Fri., Nov. 11

Pro tip: Sign up for MSD’s newsletter to stay in the know about upcoming events and activities (read: just in time for the holiday season).
