In 2018 the Main Street Cultural District rebranded to Ames Main Street. We are the organization that serves the location known as Downtown Ames. Downtown Ames is more than just our Main Street, we are Douglas, Kellogg, Burnett, Clark, and 5th Street. We are Bandshell Park to the east, and Wheatsfield Cooperative to the west. We are the heart of Ames.
Ames Main Street is a Cultural & Entertainment District, an official designation from Iowa Cultural Affairs.
