Despite the mega-marts and big box store growth of the
last decade, downtown revitalization is enjoying a tremendous appeal.
Folks are looking for a little more personal touch in their shopping and
dining experience that is lost in large chain, high inventory stores or
restaurants focused on consistency across locations. Downtown Valparaiso
is a great example of a growing, vibrant, historical downtown.
|
 |
Downtown Valpo is an wonderful alternative that provides a multiple
destination trip, casual atmosphere for families, couples or individuals.
Abundant, free parking and a diverse array of shopping and eating
experiences are an easy stroll along the streets of our first
neighborhood. |

Valpo by Bike
If you like to bike, you can
participate in group rides from leisure to training and in a program that rewards you for biking
downtown to couple your exercise with savings and incentives. More than
20 of the Downtown Valpo merchants participate in
Valpo
by Bike including restaurants, boutiques, salons, and others. Ride
your bike, shop, dine and enjoy!
 |
A variety of shops ranging from collectibles, clothing, pet needs,
original art, framing, and sporting supplies compliment an ever-growing
faire of dining establishments. Cuisines blend nearly all tastes from
steaks, seafood, pastas, pizza, deli sandwiches, coffee shops, and
decadent options for dessert.

Round out a trip downtown with
a visit to one of the theatres, salons, taverns, other
live entertainment, or just take a leisurely walk,
taking in the wide-architectural designs that are
prevalent in the structures lining the downtown
corridors.

Please use this page to familiarize yourself with the breadth of
merchants ready to meet you and meet your individual needs with a
personal touch that will remind you of a time when shopping was more
than crowded parking lots, running in to grab something, and dashing
through a drive-thru. |
