Montrose Candy

The Montrose Shopping Park Association was formed in 1968 for the primary purpose of representing the interests of the then "newly created" Montrose Shopping Park. Since 1973, the Montrose Shopping Park Association has administrated the Business Improvement District known to most locals simply as "Montrose." The Montrose Shopping Park Association a... dministrates the district by contract with the City of Glendale. The nearly 200 businesses located within the geographic boundaries of the shopping area assess themselves annually in order to promote the district with advertising, physical improvements, community service, public events and partnership with various community organizations. In keeping with the traditions of the local area, the Montrose Shopping Park Association provided the Montrose Town Clock, the National Flag Week Plaque, the annual Christmas Lights enjoyed by thousands of residents and non-residents alike from Thanksgiving weekend through New Year's Day and is responsible for bringing back the historic streetlamps. In addition to paying the rent and utilities for our local COPPS Substation and providing funds to maintain the Vietnam War Memorial, the Montrose Shopping Park Association is perhaps best known for the many public events it sponsors, including the Montrose Arts & Crafts Festival, the Montrose Harvest Market, the Independence Weekend Block Party & Hot Rod/Classic Car Show, Kids 'n Kritters Day, the Montrose Halloween Spooktacular, and Montrose Old Town Christmas complete with antique horse-drawn trolley, live holiday music and strolling Santa, as well as hosting the annual Montrose-Glendale Christmas Parade.Read More
