Introduction

McKinney, Texas

McKinney, Texas has one of the oldest, most lovingly preserved and largest historic districts in Texas. Downtown McKinney draws people from all 50 states and more than 90 countries to its nostalgic setting and its more than 170 unique shops, including art galleries, antiques, gifts, home décor shops, and apparel and accessory boutiques as well as other specialty shops. Pop into unique, locally owned spots like The Groovy Coop (a retro-style store with books, clothes, and more) and Habitat Plants + Coffee, which sells houseplants and delicious coffee.

Almost two dozen eateries in and around downtown McKinney offer some of the best culinary experiences in North Texas, with many of them sourcing their ingredients from local farmers. Among them, the Michelin-recommended Harvest at The Masonic stands out, offering a true farm-to-table experience in a beautifully restored historic setting that embodies McKinney’s charm and commitment to local flavor.  

Get a Planner’s Perspective

Don’t just take our word for it, hear what these planners had to say.

“As the operator of more than 20 soccer tournaments and five leagues, our team always looks forward to hosting events in the City of McKinney. This past year, we partnered with the City to host an international, girls-only soccer tournament—a five-day event that brought teams from across the U.S. together with competitors from Canada, Colombia, Denmark, France, Mexico, and The Netherlands. Working with the City’s Parks & Recreation Department and Visit McKinney staff was instrumental in the event’s success. From outstanding staff support to top-notch facilities, we truly value every opportunity to work with McKinney.” 
 
– Jeff Stanley, President, U90C Sports
