Downtown Palatka, Inc. is a non-profit merchants association that supports the economic development, enhancement, and promotion of Downtown Palatka. With its eclectic mix of one-of-a-kind retail, dining, and professional services, Historic Downtown Palatka is on the path to once again become the “Gem City of the St Johns River.” Together, we promote Palatka as a prime location to work, play, and do business.

Our downtown has become a place of great events and festivals year round. Some are sponsored by our group. These include: St Patrick’s Day Parade, Fourth of July Parade, Boo on the Avenue, Christmas Parade, and the Florida Azalea Festival.
