Downtown Goshen, Indiana

Goshen’s downtown is one of the coolest around – hands down. Few towns our size (just under 30,000 residents) can boast about a thriving downtown cultural arts scene, beautiful historic architecture, and intriguing places to eat and shop.

Whether you’re a long time resident or visiting for the first time, take note of the fresh faces and distinctive architectural elements on the downtown buildings. DGI’s Façade enhancement grants for business owners are transforming the look of downtown. There’s always something new to see.

Downtown Goshen, Inc. focuses on letting people know just how exciting our city can be. With over 29 downtown festival days and themed events FREE to the public, there’s plenty of opportunity for people to discover the ingenious things Goshen community has to offer.
