Downtown Kalamazoo Collective

✨Downtown Kalamazoo is more than just the Mall and Michigan Avenue. ✨

With the Kalamazoo Avenue construction in full swing, getting around downtown might take a little extra planning. But here's the good news...

Downtown Kalamazoo's most incredible businesses are still open and ready to welcome you! They're just waiting for you to discover them!

If you haven't explored the Park Trades Center, now is the perfect time. Home to artists, makers, specialty shops, and one-of-a-kind experiences, it's a destination all its own.

Will you have to think about your route before you head downtown? Probably.

Will you encounter a few orange barrels? Most likely.

Will it be worth the extra couple of minutes? Without a doubt.

Construction is temporary. The amazing businesses that make Downtown Kalamazoo special are here every day, working hard, creating, serving, and welcoming customers. They need our support now more than ever.

So venture a little farther. Explore a little longer. Discover a place you may have never visited before.

You might just find your new favorite downtown destination.

💬 Tell us which Park Trades Center business should everyone make a point to visit? Let's help our neighbors get the love they deserve!

A taste of heaven in July. For the next few days, not only will temperatures be cooler, but our moisture levels will also be lower! Through Saturday, humidity will remain at tolerable levels, some may say it will feel refreshing. Now the bad news... By Sunday, we see a resurgence of moisture into the area with increasing chances for storms Sunday and Monday.

Bottom line, enjoy the next few days!
