Downtown Salinas

Downtown Salinas is the happening spot for culture, dining, and fun in Salinas. The National Steinbeck Center Museum, Steinbeck House and Salinas Railroad Museum are here. Join us for an authentic downtown experience - all local!

Shop at our eclectic mix of locally-owned boutiques, clothing, antique malls, vintage stores, book stores, music stores, and then relax at any of our casual or fine dining establishments - including two local coffeehouses!

Downtown also boasts a great night life with many live music venues, nightclubs, breweries, and sports bars to choose from.

On the 1st Friday of every month is the Art Walk from 5pm-8pm - lots of live music, art and other performances - it's FREE!

See you in Downtown Salinas!
