Downtown Saline has the charm of a small town that continues to change with the passing of each decade. Historic buildings over 100 years old, buildings built in the 1950’s and 1960’s and the new construction currently underway are the homes to our retail businesses, restaurants, specialty stores and indoor play facilities make Saline a unique downtown shopping district.
Special events that include the Farmer’s Market, Sports Cars to Saline, the Saline Summerfest, the Harvest of the Arts Oktoberfest, and the Summer Music Series are held in the streets and parking lots in downtown Saline. The events are a coordination effort between the Downtown Merchants Association, the Chamber of Commerce and the City of Saline.
Parades play a big role in community involvement for Saline’s downtown with the Holiday Parade as the number one downtown event each year for the last 30 plus years. An active volunteer community works with the City, Merchants and charitable organizations to make Saline’s downtown a place to work, eat, shop and enjoy.
