Decatur is a wonderful, eclectic mix of people, music, food, culture and art. Imagine walking to dinner at one of Decatur's many great restaurants then window shopping among our unique shops and galleries. Or picture spending a Saturday evening at one of our free concerts on the square where friends and neighbors spread their blankets and enjoy a picnic supper to the tune of a local bluegrass band.
