Welcome
Welcome to Historic Downtown Big Rapids. As you stroll down the street, the beautiful architecture of the buildings tell you a story of a downtown rich in history.  From the site of the humble beginnings of Ferris State University, now a renowned center for higher education, to the beautifully renovated Nesbitt and Fairman buildings, we are proud of our historical heritage and it shows.


Historical Downtown Big Rapids is just 3 short blocks from Ferris State University and 1 block off State Street/Northland Drive.  Here you will discover not only the original site of Ferris State (commemorated by a plaque on Fifth Third Bank) but also the award winning Fairman and Nesbitt buildings. In our Historical Downtown you can shop all day, take a break at a beauty salon or yoga studio,  or just hang out for some entertainment.  You can even find your next house, get a mortgage, get your insurance, and close at the title office - all right downtown! 

Don't forget the nightlife!  Come downtown after the sun goes down to catch a flick, enjoy fine dining, grab an evening treat, or hit the dancefloor.

Downtown Big Rapids today is a bustling center of exceptional  retail shops, fine restaurants, salons and spas, fitness centers and a myriad of professional services.  Virtually "at your fingertips" downtown Big Rapids has what you are looking  for.  Spend a day with us, or better yet, spend a lifetime.  Big Rapids is one of best places you could ever find to call "home".

 Sincerely,
 

Bob Patterson, President

Downtown Business Association
