Wisconsin Downtowns: Eau Claire

Wisconsin Downtowns: Eau Claire

Serene parks, riverside walks, live music, al fresco dining, and shopping galore - There is nothing better than a day trip downtown! Discover Wisconsin is heading to downtown La Crosse, Eau Claire, Oshkosh, and Green Bay to find out what each of these amazing cities has to offer. If you haven’t been downtown in a while, it’s time to go again!

A little bit quirky, a little bit cool, and tons of recreation, art and music… is it true that Eau Claire is a mini version of Portland? Josh sets to find out, and speaks to Erin Klaus of Tangled Up In Hue about the charming features of art taking over the downtown area, everything from the sculpture tour, outdoor murals, lights on tree, to music events and the Pablo Center. The revitalization projects have been focusing on the riverfront, adding bike trails, fun lights on the bridges and more music on the streets, drawing in visitors and new local businesses. See what’s playing at Pablo: www.pablocenter.org

Josh chills out in Carson Park with Aaron and Mikala of Ambient Inks, talking about the food scene, from classics to dives to posh, and the local small business community that leans on each other to welcome new shops and help promote each other. Grab merch at Ambient Inks: www.ambientinks.com

At Revival Records, Josh talks with Nicole from Sofar Sounds to get a better feel for the music scene in Eau Claire. It’s unique in the quality and quantity, especially in the summer where you can experience everything from an intimate event in someone’s basement to a large gathering in the park or at Pablo. Check out more music at www.revivalrecords.co and www.sofarsounds.com

One of the most frequented things that has grown over the past year is the expanding system of biking and running paths. Adam of Blue Ox Running tells Josh about how the path really aids and perfectly matches the flow of the city and interconnect at the coolest points of Eau Claire. Fast or slow, let’s go! www.blueoxrunning.com
