Bristol’s local downtown organization, Bristol CORE, is an essential part of our active and engaged community. Its mission and passion are to bring people together to keep Bristol vibrant, celebrate its history, and plan for its future.

The non-profit 501(c)(3) consists of area business people, property owners, and community members committed to increasing and maintaining the Bristol downtown area’s economic vitality and organizing and promoting community events for Bristol citizens. This is done via beautification, marketing, and economic development projects and programs.

Bristol CORE (formerly the Bristol Downtown Community Partnership) and its Board of Directors were created as part of the requirements to become a Vermont Designated Downtown, a status Bristol earned in 2006.

Fundraising, sponsorships, and volunteered person-power enables Bristol CORE to implement the projects and events that keep Bristol buzzing. We welcome your ideas, involvement, enthusiasm, and financial support! To learn more, visit our website or contact us at info@bristolcore.org.
