There’s a buzz of progress in the air! Historic Downtown Garland, well-known for its shopping, dining, and arts scene, is undergoing an exciting metamorphosis.
Garland’s Downtown Square and 14 blocks of surrounding streetscapes are being transformed into a haven for pedestrians with inviting patio areas, a recreational/event lawn, a new water feature, and a perfectly perched treehouse for the kids.
Even while the area is under construction, visitors continue to be overjoyed with the experience that awaits them. This cultural and commercial heart of the city offers an array of homegrown specialty shops, colorful boutiques, and public art installations to take in.
Downtown Garland is also home to over 12 locally-owned eateries, where you can choose from a wide variety of options including Texas barbeque, Thai, American scratch-cooking, and Tex-Mex, just to name a few.
Warmer weather has arrived. Feel like celebrating? You’re invited to “Thirsty Third Thursdays” in Downtown Garland on the third Thursday of the month from 5 to 8 p.m. You can visit participating locations during their extended business hours, take advantage of their specials, and enjoy a complimentary beverage while you shop.
