Downtown Commerce, Georgia

Small towns evoke the best of what Southerners are as a culture. They are places where tradition is the lifeblood of the community, where neighbors give a helping hand. Small towns are places with a heart. If you are looking to be a part of our small town you can VOLUNTEER! Just follow the link to join our Come See Commerce hype squad

While visiting our downtown, we hope you will enjoy strolling along our tree-lined sidewalks, and talking with business owners and residents while discovering all that our small town has to offer. Grab an ice cream float at the local drugstore soda fountain, pick out the perfect outfit at one of our shops, gather with friends for a meal at one of our local restaurants, or take to one of our parks for some playtime. Hop on your bike or take your pet for a walk. If you like history, then stop by the Downtown Development office at 1645 S. Elm Street and pick up a self-guided walking tour brochure. Get to know how Commerce came to be! Whatever brings you to our wonderful downtown, we hope you have a chance to explore and enjoy! Click here to view the 2025 Winter/2026 Spring Activity Guide
