Nestled between majestic Lake Michigan and beautiful Round Lake, Downtown Charlevoix offers a truly unique waterfront shopping experience. But don't be fooled by its quaintness and charm - this Mecca of music, art, food and fun welcomes tens of thousands of visitors annually.
Downtown Charlevoix was recently named a "Cool City" by Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm. This designation resulted in the production of the Charlevoix Downtown Blueprint 2007 - an aggressive five-year economic development plan to make Downtown Charlevoix an even better place to live, work and visit.
