OUR MISSION
At the heart of our community is a historic Downtown Square, a one-of-a-kind scene steeped in culture with plenty of stories to be told. Through the years, since its founding in the mid-1800s, many of the beautiful buildings in the city's original business sector have been lovingly preserved and restored. They are now home to talented local chefs, artisans and business owners ready to welcome you into the best restaurants, markets and shops in Texas. To that end, we have made it our mission to share the delicious flavors and rich culture of our town, one bite and one block at a time. Our leisurely walk will satisfy the local foodie and history buff as well as first-time visitors. We can't get enough of McKinney's Main Street character and charm. We love it and we know you will, too!
