Downtown Sykesville Connection

The Downtown Sykesville Connection (DSC) is dedicated to supporting Maryland-made goods and the producers and sellers who bring them to market. Through strategic initiatives, DSC connects local artisans, entrepreneurs, and small businesses with a wider audience of shoppers, both within our community and beyond.

Our online presence, including a robust website and active social media channels, serves as a platform to showcase Maryland-made products. We spotlight these goods through engaging content, special promotions, and collaborations local partners. This targeted outreach introduces our unique downtown offerings to shoppers who may never have visited Sykesville but are inspired by the quality and charm of Maryland-made products.

DSC also drives consumer engagement through innovative programs, such as our "Shop Downtown Sykesville" Passport initiative and placemaking project like our discoalley. Many participating businesses feature Maryland-made items, creating opportunities for these products to reach diverse audiences.
