In 1997, a group of concerned citizens realized that a healthy downtown is crucial to the heritage, economic health and civic pride of the entire community. To turn the tide of disinvestment, the citizens banded together and pursued the Oklahoma Main Street Program, a division of the Department of Commerce. Due to the efforts of these volunteers, in March 1998, Broken Bow became a designated Main Street Town. The program is designed around a Four Point Approach which includes elements of design, organization, promotion, and economic restructuring.

Since the birth of Broken Bow Main Street, over $800,000.00 has been reinvested in downtown! In addition to renovation incentives, Main Street has also developed many successful promotional, organizational and design projects. One of the most recent Main Street projects is the Environmental Classroom which is located around the Chamber of Commerce building. The Design Committee, along with many volunteers, has created beautiful gardens that serve as the gateway to downtown Broken Bow. One of the most popular events is the Annual Cool Cars and Crazy Cones. This is held in conjunction with the Beavers Bend Rod Run. Broadway street is blocked off for a street dance, food vendors, games, dance contests, and the Mighty Midget Car Race. Each calendar year is packed full of activities which provide entertainment for all members of the family year round.
