In Downtown Monroe visitors can enjoy our historic architecture (many of the buildings in the central business district are over 100 years old). Walk across the River Raisin on our lighted pedestrian bridge to St. Mary’s Park to enjoy a free concert at the band shell. Stroll along our Riverwalk on the south side of the river as it connects to Soldiers and Sailors Park.

Shop in our cozy, one-of-a-kind stores where customer service rules. Grab a quick bite or sit down and enjoy a delicious meal at one of our eclectic restaurants. Meet friends and enjoy a drink at our many pubs and bars.

Don’t miss our cultural treasures. See a play or show at the River Raisin Centre for the Arts. Explore our heritage at the Monroe County Historical Museum and the Monroe County Labor Museum. Browse the stacks at the Dorsch Memorial Library.
