Downtown Gilroy stretches along Monterey Street, with restaurants, shops, and tasting rooms in historic buildings. The ornate Old City Hall, now home to a restaurant, is the landmark everyone photographs.
The Gilroy Downtown Business Association runs community events through the year, including a fall beer crawl, Small Business Saturday, and the Downtown Gilroy Holiday Festival and Parade in early December.
