About Discover Long Branch:

Long Branch, with its many locally-owned eateries and shops and dazzling public art, is already a great place. Our mission is to make it even better — more jobs, greater opportunities, more cultural events, public art and public places.  

Long Branch, located smack between busy downtown Silver Spring and charming Takoma Park, has a distinctive family-friendly feel all of its own.

We business owners who work in Long Branch may have arrived here from all across the globe, but we all ‘smile in the same language’ (though the line may be borrowed from a classic rock song, it is true all the same).
