Delight in Downtown OWA

It’s always fun to head downtown—especially when it’s Downtown OWA. Inspired by some of the South’s most beloved small towns, this is the gathering place for a morning stroll or a night out on the town. It’s all familiar yet pristine, from the sidewalk-side dining to shopkeeper’s awnings, from the streetlights and fountains to the marquee on the theater. But there’s one big difference—no cars. Downtown OWA is pedestrian-only, so there’s plenty of room to walk in the sunshine or browse in the shade. Whether it’s date night or a night out with friends, lively scenery pairs well with the variety of alluring cocktails and tasty cuisine throughout Downtown OWA.
