Downtown Waco & Cultural District

In 2016, the Texas Commission on the Arts unanimously voted to designate Waco a State of Texas Cultural District.

Waco’s vibrant Downtown Cultural District offers unique locally owned shops, restaurants, and more. The area contains museums, art galleries, public art, performance venues, and restaurants and bars serving locally produced food, wine, beer—even award-winning whisky. There are numerous stores selling locally designed and manufactured art, crafts, home furnishings, clothing, and jewelry.
