ExPERIENCE

TO DOWNTOWN BATTLE CREEk

Where you can choose away the nothing-to-do blues. We’re all about choices — whether it’s what to eat or what to do. Brick-oven-fired pizza, the Reuben sandwich of your dreams, cappuccino from a barista who loves you, hand-crafted beer from brewers who work wonders with hops and rye, designer gowns or high-tech bikes.

How active do you want to be today? You’ll find an amazingly pretty walking/biking path along the river — and park benches begging people-watchers to have a seat — even a sweet little playground located in a charming urban park. Historical monuments and a significant amount of art displayed in various buildings and restaurants!

You’ll find plenty of entertainment options — long-standing events are listed herein. Impromptu events are always in the works, and you’ll find them listed on our never-out-of-date website: downtownbattlecreek.com. You can also find us on Facebook at Downtown Battle Creek and on Twitter at DowntownBTLCRk.

No matter what you choose to do, you’re just a quick drive from anywhere in Battle Creek and minutes from I-94. See you soon!
