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.

Good to know

  • It is a short drive from Gilroy Inn; street parking is usually easiest away from event days.
  • Combine dinner downtown with an afternoon at Gilroy Gardens or on the wine trail.
