Experience Downtown

Downtown is the heart of our city, home to heritage and diversity, where historic buildings are intermixed with exciting new developments, offering unique shopping, a variety of dining options and an emerging arts and culture scene.

Downtown is constantly changing.  In the past year we have seen the parkade completed and construction on Veterans' Plaza completed.  Construction of the first Class 'A' office tower, Executive Place, was completed in the winter and has space available.  Central Alberta Theatre has opened their new home, City Centre Stage. We are also very excited about the completion of phase I of the Gaetz Avenue Revitalization, construction which has been ongoing all summer..

While all these major changes that affect the skyline downtown, things continue to grow inside the buildings with new businesses and new events and happenings popping up everywhere.

Downtown is also home to most of Red Deer's major community events and festivals.  See Events for details.  Subscribe to our E-Newsletter for the info on the latest happenings and check Arts & Entertainment and Recreation for what to see and do evenings and weekends.

Experience downtown - we're growing up!
