Whether it's for a night out on the town, antiquing or a weekend escape, people head to McKinney for its downtown historic district. Generations have shopped, worked, lived and enjoyed some of life's milestones in the same buildings that today make up the vibrant downtown.

It's still a place to gather, with its sophisticated charm, and eclectic shopping and rising culinary scene, and serves as the city's unofficial center of leisure and play. This coming together of new and old, historic and trend-setting, daytime festivals and nightlife activities embodies the spirit of McKinney and what makes it unique.

The walkable square and immediate neighboring streets encompass one of the oldest authentic and thriving downtown areas in Texas. Historic Downtown McKinney is not just a location, it's a destination.
