Welcome to the official website of Downtown Eau Claire!

Downtown Eau Claire is about authenticity and discovery, without the cookie-cutter options found in alternate destinations. It's a place that is about people, what they do and what they like. Downtown Eau Claire offers visitors the arts, biking, classes, culture, food, dining, entertainment, farmers market, music, shopping - the entire spectrum of living. Ready for discovery. Ready to be called home. Or work. But definitely Nothing Artificial.

Christmastime in the City on Saturday, December 6th! Horse-drawn wagon rides, appearances by Santa, yummy holiday treats, silly story tellers and one big tree all were part Saturday's events. See all the Christmastime in the City pictures here! Also, be sure to check out pictures from Festival of Trees. Many shoppers participated in this year's Holiday Passport. There was only one big winner of the grand prize gift basket, but everyone discovered just how easy it is to shop downtown for the holidays. One shopper said, "I can find something unique for each person on my list. And you won't find it at the mall!" There is still time to find that perfect gift and no long lines or giant parking lots to walk through! New Commercial on December 7th! Thank you to Community Television for producing the Holiday Commercial for Downtown!

Thousands Attend Downtown Trick or Treating! Great weather brought over 2000 kids and just as many parents downtown to get treats from the downtown businesses.
