Festival at the Forty on August 16th was a huge  success. We had expected 2000 visitors, however, with both, the best weather of the summer and great planning and promotion, we had over 4500 visitors.  Exciting entertainment pro-vided by both “The Fire Guy” and local entertainers entitled all visitors to a fun day.  Our exhibitor booths were sold out and to date everyone has given us rave reviews.

The GDIA Board of Management has adopted a new brand for the Grimsby Downtown Improvement Area. It has been suggested that not everyone knows what a DIA is, or even if they are members. After careful consideration we will begin using the name "The Merchants of Downtown Grimsby" in our ongoing branding efforts. We feel the name accomplishes three things: First, it tells everyone who we are; second, it differentiates the commercial from the residential as it is those of us paying the commercial levy that fund the DIA; and third, the term "Merchants" conjures a feeling of quaintness and a more historical connotation to fit with our heritage.
