Welcome to Downtown Marquette
Downtown Marquette is Lake Superior's gateway to the rustic splendor of Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula. Historic brownstone buildings, trees, benches and street lamps line Washington and Front Streets providing a picturesque setting anytime of year.
Downtown is a charming district providing a treasure trove of delightfully unique clothing and gift shops, boutiques, galleries, museums, professional services and Gourmet Dining. The rich culinary history of the region can be experienced at these fine restaurants located in our Downtown. Select from eclectic menus that feature fresh whitefish and trout, steaks, pasta, wood grilled pizza, sandwiches and ethnic specialties, as well as coffee, muffins and sweets.
Lingering after hours enjoy the variety of entertainment options all within walking distance. Whether chatting over fine wine, sampling locally brewed beer or dancing to live music, Downtown Marquette provideds a delightful place to gather for visitors and locals! Want to know more?

Ice Skating at the Commons
Unseasonably warm winter weather has hindered efforts to create a solid base of ice on the rink surface at the Marquette Commons; however, once colder temperatures set in, the rink will be up and running as soon as possible. The facility and ice rink will be staffed and open for free ice skating, weather permitting, Thursday through Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. An announcement will be made in the local media, on the Downtown Marquette Facebook page, and here on our website, so stay tuned for further developments.
