Historic Downtown Glendale

Glendale's historic downtown pairs gas lamps and brick sidewalks with the verve of unique ethnic eateries and boutique shops.  Nationally renowned for the unique shopping experience it provides, Glendale's downtown is broken into two parts - the storefronts of Old Towne and the bungalow-turned-boutiques of Catlin Court.

A trip to downtown opens up a world of flavors and discovery at today's hip mom-and-pop style business offerings.  From family-run restaurants to small businesses featuring boutique clothing, rare fashions, art, delectable treats and home accents, Glendale's downtown shops can easily keep a marathon shopper busy for the afternoon (or weekend).  One of the stops you'll want to make is at the Cerretta Candy Company, a family-owned factory you can tour and see how your favorite indulgences are made.  If your sweet tooth still isn't satisfied, get a scoop or two of frozen goodness at Papa Ed's Ice Cream, a Catlin Court parlor that serves up delicious treats from a unique Craftsman-style carriage house.  Then find a special furry friend to take home and cherish at Bears & More, a toy-lovers wonderland full of plush animals, puzzles, games and more.  All are within historic downtown where you can enjoy the relaxing shade of the tree-lined streets and rich history of Murphy Park.  The popular park also serves as the picturesque setting to many of the city's famous festivals and events, and a visit during the holiday season will expose you to a whole new view of the downtown as the park and adjacent streets are blanketed by more than 1.5 million twinkling lights for the annual holiday event season.
