The River District Association (RDA), formerly the Downtown Danville Association, was formed in 1999 to coordinate efforts to revitalize the downtown Danville community. Welcome to Danville's River District, the place to be! We take the health of our residents and visitors seriously; please remember public health guidelines as you visit our downtown. We are standing together, six feet apart, doing our part to slow the spread of Covid-19. We ask that visitors to Danville's River District wear masks when visiting our businesses, stay six feet from other visitors, and wash hands/use hand sanitizer frequently. Thank you! We are glad you are here! A note on Parking: Public parking lots are indicated on the map. Most streets have street parking, please be mindful of any time limits indicated. Handicapped parking is available in all parking lots and garages.

A FREE Mobile App for your Community

distrx is a free location-aware mobile app designed specifically for Main Street communities. As mobile users enter your district, they receive a welcome greeting, and the app opens to reveal everything a visitor wants to know about your community: area events, parking locations, local attractions, map, and a business directory by category. Best of all, when the same visitor travels to another Main Street community, the same mobile app transforms to become the app for that community.

There is no cost to your Main Street and local businesses to participate. Merchants create comprehensive business listings and promotional offers, including in-app and web page listings - all at no cost to the business.

The distrx mobile app also powers historic walking tours and other “apptivities” to engage visitors and invite them to participate in the community.
