Chippewa Falls Main Street takes great pride in organizing and hosting popular events that fill our downtown with individuals supporting our local businesses. Our dedication to downtown Chippewa Falls is unwavering - from the Downtown Earth Day Cleanup, Pure Water Days, our 'Paint the Town' events, Cruise In car shows, to the Bridge to Wonderland Parade and other downtown events - we set the stage for showcasing the Chippewa Falls downtown year-round. Our events have brought in over 22,000 people annually to our downtown area to support our local businesses and take part in the activities.
As we look back on recent history, we celebrate our nationally-recognized Dementia Coalition, which was featured in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, as well as used at the state level to provide a toolkit for other cities in Wisconsin and later across the nation.
Chippewa Falls was also the proud recipient of the Wisconsin Main Street Award for Best Downtown Retail Event, among numerous other awards. Downtown Chippewa Falls is seeing a significant private investments and storefronts are being revitalized and reused.
It is truly an exciting time in downtown Chippewa Falls and we are looking forward to continued success!
