Downtown Chelsea is the gem of its social culture. Beautiful Victorian architecture and leafy trees line the streets, and residents and visitors alike browse quaint shops, bustling boutiques, local markets, and delicious eateries. It’s home to a plethora of exciting events throughout the year, from weekly farmers markets and live music to big festivals like the Smoke & Ale Fall Festival, Chocolate Extravaganza, Chelsea Fair, and the Hometown Holiday and Light Parade.

Arts & Culture

Chelsea is a city that truly cares about the arts. Top-notch theatrical performances can be enjoyed at the downtown Purple Rose Theatre. And the Chelsea Center for the Arts is home to numerous classes and activities for all ages, and even hosts an annual public art project. Another popular art hotspot is the Sculpture Walk of downtown, which features 12 unique large-scale works of art.
