Why Downtown Muskogee?
Downtown Muskogee is where we celebrate the arts, embrace our unique history, and offer great entertainment, dining, and shopping. From concerts, parades, art crawls, chili & BBQ cook-offs, festivals, and much more. Our downtown events draw hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors each year.
Join us as we build upon the existing foundation to create a downtown that residents are proud of and visitors will want to return to time and time again.
“Muskogee is a place that is home to so many, including mine. Downtown Muskogee is the heart of that home. With so many people’s life-long memories taking place here. These could be from attending a downtown event, shopping at a local business, enjoying a meal with friends and family, visiting the public library, and more. These activities should be celebrated and cherished. Our role should be to give back to the community that has been there for us.”

Our Purpose, Objectives, and Goals
The purpose, objectives and goal of Main Street Muskogee, Inc. might best be compared to a three-legged-stool comparison.
1) The first critical leg is the revitalizing and transformation of downtown Muskogee by preserving and promoting our historic district as the economic and cultural heart of our city. In short, return the heart and soul of our community to it's rightful location - downtown.
2) The second critical leg is to to create a stream of unique events with the purpose of drawing overnight visitors and tourists from the entire region to experience the uniqueness of not only downtown, but the entire community of Muskogee, OK.
3) The third critical leg of our mission is to further promote the education and understanding of each of us as to the importance of shopping and spending hyper-locally is to our economic survival. Gone are the days where communities can let their local revenue slip away, they must pull out all the stops and keep as many of the local spendable dollars, local!
We invite you to be a part of our journey! Millions have been invested into our historic downtown. We have hundreds of volunteer hours being expended each month along with thousands more invested in promoting our downtown and our city.
