Our historic downtown is the heart of our community, home to many small businesses that provide unique shopping, dining, and entertainment experiences. Throughout the summer, First Fridays bring excitement to downtown Tipton, featuring local shopping, great food, car shows, and live music—an event that truly showcases the spirit of our city. We are also excited to continue investing in the beautification and redevelopment of our downtown to ensure it remains a vibrant hub for residents and visitors alike.
Beyond recreation and downtown revitalization, Tipton is experiencing an exciting period of growth and investment.
