Be a Downtown Builder!
Volunteering is at the heart of what makes Downtown Smithfield such a vibrant and welcoming place. When you volunteer, you’re not just giving your time—you’re helping shape the future of our community.
From festivals and farmers markets to beautification projects and cultural events, it takes passionate, dedicated people to bring these moments to life. Volunteers help us create spaces where neighbors can connect, families can make memories, and small businesses can thrive.
​
Your involvement shows pride in where you live and a belief in what we can achieve together. Whether you can give a few hours or a few days, every contribution makes an impact. When you volunteer with us, you become part of something bigger—you help create the kind of downtown where everyone feels welcome, included, and inspired.
​
Not only will you get the satisfaction of seeing the joy you bring to our community, but we like to reward our volunteers for their dedication and hard work. You can earn free event t-shirts, gift certificates, free food and more!

Support Downtown Through Sponsorship!
Sponsorship is a powerful way to invest in the future of Downtown Smithfield while showcasing your business or organization as a committed community partner. Our events and programs—like the Ham & Yam Festival, Celebrate Smithfield, Oktoberfest, Kick Off to Christmas, and Independence Day—bring thousands of people downtown each year. These moments don’t just entertain—they build connections, support local businesses, and create lasting memories.
​
When you sponsor an event or initiative, you help make these experiences possible. Your support allows us to keep events free and accessible, expand cultural programming, improve public spaces, and promote economic growth. In return, we offer valuable visibility, recognition, and opportunities to engage directly with the community you serve.
Whether you're a small business or a large corporation, your sponsorship shows that you care about where you live, work, and do business. It's more than marketing—it's a meaningful investment in the heart of our town.

Why I Support Downtown!
"Volunteering has made me feel at home in this community. I moved here not knowing anyone, but I volunteered for the Ham & Yam Festival and met so many wonderful people. The work was fun and the event was great, but the people were the best part!" - Chris
