With its false-front architecture and period lighting, Downtown La Crosse struts its Old West stuff, overflowing with antique stores, art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and theaters. Downtown La Crosse is situated near two universities and a college: the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Viterbo University, and Western Technical College. As a result, Downtown La Crosse has a fun side: it's walkable, bicycle-friendly, and offers events like the Friday night Farmer's Market at Cameron Park and a pub crawl on two wheels -- the Beer by Bike Brigade.
Whether it's relaxing by the river or exploring the downtown shops, Downtown La Crosse is a great place to live. Relax and listen to live music at the Bodega Brew Pub or attend the Between the Bluffs Beer, Wine, and Cheese Festival in April. Catch a performance at the Pump House Regional Arts Center or admire the outdoor art throughout downtown: Ribbon V, Family, Fledgling, A Simpler Time, and Harmony and Peace. Don't forget to see the river from above -- the views from Grandad Bluff are inspiring.
