Center City of Amarillo

Center City started in 1996 when citizens joined together to save Amarillo's historic downtown. Downtown is the oldest neighborhood with the brightest future. In 2008, the Downtown Strategic Action Plan outlined a path to make downtown "everybody's neighborhood" with places to live, work, play, learn & worship. Center City continues that mission with events :

• Amarillo Community Market


• Electric Light Parade


• High Noon on the Square


• Jazztober

Through its Facade Grant program, Center City has invested more than $1 million to bring downtown buildings back to life. Center City needs your help as we work to make downtown a shining star neighborhood for the people of the Panhandle to enjoy.

Who We Are

Center City's vision: Amarillo's downtown will be a destination neighborhood that bridges our historic past with a thriving future for generations to come. We want to make downtown "everybody's neighborhood."
