The purpose of our Association is to:

2. Provide a forum to exchange ideas to enhance the promotion of Fairport and Perinton businesses.

3. Promote community pride through sponsorship of organized events and activities.

We are certain you're aware of some events, which FPMA sponsors, including Canal Days, Scarecrow Festival, Springfest, Car Cruz Nites, Art Walks (new in 2004) and “Brighten Your Spirits” holiday promotion. Your membership will help to provide Christmas lighting for the village, hanging flower baskets in summer and many other improvements for beautification of our community. FPMA also contributes significant dollars to numerous local charitable organizations. 

You may not be aware of our new and improved marketing brochure, which includes FPMA members. It’s intent is to communicate and sell the culture and the many strengths of our community while advocating and promoting our member businesses. The brochure is actively distributed widely around the state, at the Info Center located in the Box Factory and handed to visiting boaters and people seeking information about the town.

As a member you’ll have the opportunity for business to business networking. Be made aware of group tours arriving in town. If you have a business brochure, have it stocked at the Info Center. And have the opportunity to work on committees that help insure a vibrant community and thriving business atmosphere. 

As a member you can become part of an organization that is making Fairport a destination for visitors to shop in and families to move to.
