Commerce and shopping happen here in the Livermore Valley.

The city’s downtown won the 2009 Great American Main Street Award for its revitalization project by the Livermore Downtown, Inc. Special events, merchant promotions and volunteer participation have helped create a buzz downtown that thrives on the city’s beauty, its agricultural heritage and rich wine-making tradition. Its eclectic selection of restaurants and retail shops keep residents and visitors alike interested on a year-round basis.

With free, easy parking at the downtown garage, the entire downtown area is easily accessible to dine, see a movie or just wander. Many of the restaurants have street dining which is ideal on beautiful weather days.

Livermore Wine Country Festival

The annual event held in May closes the downtown area to cars, and attracts shops and over 150,000 visitors from around the bay area. It celebrates wine, food, crafts and fun with music, cooking classes and so much more.
