Ruston Main Street

Start your day in Ruston at Grown and Grazed, which uses local farm products for their delicious breakfasts and lunches. Then, hunt for a cute new outfit at one of the local boutiques like The Fashion of Ruston, or grab some fresh produce, handmade crafts and more at the Ruston Farmers Market. Over at Ruston Artisans fine art gallery and gift boutique, art lovers can view stunning exhibitions and add to their collections.

Located in the historic downtown district, Sundown Tavern provides an inviting pub-style experience with a side of live music. Or head to Heard Freighthouse Food Truck Park for a variety of cuisines and flavors. Utility Brewing Company is the place to go for cold beers and hot, wood-fired brick oven pizza. After eating your fill, take in a live concert or seasonal movie showing at the Dixie Center for Performing Arts.

There’s plenty to do in downtown Ruston, with axe throwing, live events and holiday displays at Railroad Park, or let the gallery at Creative Exchange inspire your inner artist. Are you a history buff? You'll find lots of history at your fingertips at our Military Museum and the Lincoln Parish Museum located just right outside of Downtown Ruston.

And a visit to Ruston wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the Louisiana Peach Festival, celebrating the local bounty in many forms.
