This is Historic Encinitas, a classic Southern California beach town, where people enjoy the simplinspired by nature and respect our cultural heritage. We support the arts. These are the shared values that hold us together. It is what keeps us dynamic and strong.
The Downtown Encinitas MainStreet (DEMA) is an organization of business owners and residents who have helped turn Historic Downtown Encinitas, into a fertile ground for creative pursuits. Our mission is to promote and protect our most treasured assets: our people, our culture, and our precious natural resources.
The friendships that are forged here among neighbors who share similar passions – for sports, the environment, yoga, poetry, music and the arts – have helped create new ventures and new ways of approaching life.
