For more than 160 years, Historic Downtown McKinney has been the hub of the community. Now after years of reinvention and a recent renovation, it's still a thriving center of activity.
The city recently invested $2.2 million to update the downtown area, adding landscaping and lighting, building benches, widening sidewalks and increasing parting.
The mix of residential and commercial tenants continues to grow, with more than 120 businesses like clothing stores, art galleries, specialty gift shops antique shops, law firms, wineries and restaurants calling historic downtown McKinney home. Many downtown eateries now offer patio dining thanks to the upgrades. And outdoor dining is a great option on nights before a show at the McKinney Performing Arts Center, housed in the square's historic courthouse.
Thousands of McKinney residents and visitors flock to downtown for annual events such as Scare on the Square for Halloween, Oktoberfest, the Krew of Barkus Mardi Gras dog parade and the annual 29 -year favorite Dickens of a Christmas.
