Downtown Florence is the Cultural, Foodie, Creative, and Entertainment hub of the Shoals. Between the restaurants, bars, and events – such as First Fridays Florence and after hour performances – there’s always music downtown. We attribute this to the Tennessee River, also known as the “Singer River.” Florence is home to fashion designers, Grammy award winners, and some of the most diverse successful chefs in the nation. Visit the beautiful, historic downtown located blocks from the majestic Tennessee River.
