Garland’s Visitor Center, located just off the downtown square at Fifth and State streets, recently celebrated its first anniversary.
The Visitor Center opened Oct. 12, 2023, just before the grand opening of the revitalized Downtown Square. In its first year, it welcomed an estimated 5,000 visitors from 17 countries and all 50 states!
Aside from welcoming visitors from around the globe, the Visitor Center also highlights local businesses, supports local artists, participates in community events and offers items for sale. The top-selling item the first year? Garland-opoly! Other popular items available at the Visitor Center include apparel, postcards, stickers and 3D printed designs.
Be sure to stop by the Visitor Center, 501 State St., the next time you’re downtown and see all it has to offer visitors and residents alike!
