Supporting Downtown Small Businesses While Preserving Our Rich History
We champion local businesses by providing resources and opportunities that stimulate economic activity. From small shops to large enterprises, our BID creates a supportive environment that encourages growth and innovation.
Hosting a variety of community-centric events, we bring people together to celebrate the spirit of Vacaville. These events not only enhance the local cultural scene but also drive foot traffic and engagement within our downtown area.
Balancing the preservation of our rich history with the need for modern enhancements, our BID works to maintain the historic charm of Downtown Vacaville while implementing thoughtful improvements that drive progress and revitalization.
The Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District (BID) is following the Main Street America approach to downtown revitalization. Downtown Vacaville enriches our community by supporting the vibrant economic activity of over 450 businesses across various industries and hosting community-centric local events. We are dedicated to preserving our rich history while driving economic growth and revitalization to ensure a balanced focus on preservation-based development and modern enhancements.
Through our dedicated efforts, the Downtown Vacaville BID ensures a vibrant, resilient, and inclusive downtown that reflects both our storied past and our ambitious future

Did you know? 👀
This downtown landmark once served as Vacaville’s original Town Hall — and so much more. Built in 1907, the building housed the city jail, police station, courtroom, and fire department, all under one roof!
For decades, it was the center of civic life in Vacaville before city services moved elsewhere. Saved from demolition and lovingly restored, the building now stands as a reminder of how our downtown — and our community — first took shape.
Thanks to local preservationists, it was restored and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Today it’s home to the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Solano County Genealogical Society ♥️
A true piece of Vacaville history on E. Main Street. 🏛️
