Downtown Auburn Business Association (DABA)

Thank You! Your rating has been saved.

The Downtown Auburn Business Association (DABA) has been serving downtown Auburn, Indiana, since the 1940's when it was established as an association for business owners to gather and collaborate, focusing their efforts on bringing customers to the downtown. In the early days as was the case in all downtowns across the country, nearly all business took place in downtown business districts and most towns and cities had a retail merchant's association.

As one of the oldest business associations in the state of Indiana, DABA's membership consists of 84 retail and service businesses that all share the same goal; "To foster and maintain a viable downtown business district through community pride and awareness, promotion and marketing, and philanthropic endeavors".

Throughout the year DABA sponsors the following community events & projects: The Downtown Farmers Market, planting of the flowers in the downtown planters, Summer cruise-ins, ACD Arts & Craft show, "Halloween in Downtown", and the annual Christmas Parade and the lighting of the "Frosty the Snowman" display.

Over the years DABA has sponsored several summer art exhibits in downtown Auburn. In 2009 the "Sitting Pretty" exhibit was a huge success. 2010's exhibit entitled "Easel Mania"Slices of Auburn featured 20 easels depicting views of local interest and history. Last summer we featured the talents of local & regional artists on a canvas of Adirondack chairs in the exhibit entitled "Kick Back Adirondack Art". And this summer we are proud to present the exhibit "Gather at the Gate" Auburn's Gateway to Art.

In addition to these events, DABA is an annual supporter of the DeKalb County Fair and has donated to the following projects: Reike Park, The DeKalb County Outdoor Theater, and the J. Seward Johnson sculpture exhibit, presented by the Auburn Arts Commission.
