Play Downtown

Erie Downtown is a key player in all the events you love to come to Downtown! Everything from Bike Nights to Downtown d’LIGHTS, there is something for everyone.

Bike Nights attract visitors from as far away as Wisconsin. Over 2,500 bikers visit downtown Erie, on average, during these events.

Buggin State nights give car clubs in the Erie area a chance to showcase their classic, custom and tricked-out vehicles. Thousands of enthusiasts come downtown to see the cars on display along State Street.

Block Parties bring the excitement of Fridays to a traditionally off night. Every year Block Parties draw over 25,000 people downtown on Thursday nights and also raise thousands of dollars fro Erie community charities.

Downtown d’LIGHTS kicks off the holiday season each year in Perry Square. With everyone on board from Santa and his elves to the Mayor of the City of Erie, with one flip of a switch Perry Square is transformed into a Christmas spectacular.

*The DID would also like to thank all of the local sponsors, who without their help, none of these events would be possible!
