Main Street DeFuniak Springs is a nonprofit organization focused on strengthening our historic downtown as the heart of the community. Through year-round events, small business support, beautification initiatives, and strategic partnerships, we work to create a vibrant, welcoming district that honors our history while encouraging sustainable growth. Our programs bring thousands of residents and visitors downtown each year while supporting local businesses and fostering civic pride.

In existence since 2008, Scenic Walton works to improve quality of life in our communities through pursuing projects and programs to landscape the gateways into our communities, achieve the undergrounding of overhead utilities, expand pedestrian and cyclist facilities, and advocate for strong aesthetic and access management guidelines throughout the county.
