About downtown

The friendly, reinvigorated area of Downtown Jefferson City is our community’s soul.

The same pioneering spirit which founded our city more than two-hundred years ago is embedded in the designs of our downtown historic buildings is burning brighter than ever in the entrepreneurism that has emerged in recent years.

You can feel the energy and optimism in the patterned sidewalks lined with trees, hanging baskets overflowing with flowers, and coordinated lighting and benches. Numerous sidewalk dining venues and coffee shops allow shoppers and workers to linger to enjoy conversation with friends while basking in the sunshine and breeze coming from the Missouri River.
