The Stevens Point Alliance is a collective effort, and a great advertising opportunity, as well as a way to further network your organization. It is a team of volunteers that run events such as Holiday Parades, Discover Downtown, and Wine Walk in the Downtown Stevens Point area. Not only do we get the satisfaction of helping families and friends bond at these events, but individual organizations get additional online recognition on the membership listings on our website www.downtownpointwi.com

Monthly meetings are held at 9am on the Second Wednesday of the month at The Portage County Library in Downtown Stevens Point. During these meetings we discuss event planning, community outreach, and improvements for downtown. All are welcome. Get involved and help us inform others about how great Stevens Point is and buy a membership today. If you have any further questions about the organization, what planning goes into the events or volunteer opportunities do not hesitate to email info@downtownpointwi.com
