THROUGH
THE YEARS

From the beginning, Downtown Meadville has been the beating heart of the community. See its story and how it transformed through the years.

We welcome you to Experience Meadville with the Meadville Independent Business Alliance (MIBA)! We are a group of local and independent businesses in the Meadville, PA area that organize fun and family-friendly shop local events.  Experience the cool vibe of downtown Meadville during our monthly First Friday events.  A casual atmosphere features art, people-watching, mingling with friends, shopping, and dining. First Friday goers will experience after-hours access to galleries and shops, live music and entertainment when weather permits, retail and restaurant specials, and more.  Be sure to view our upcoming or roster of First Friday event themes that turn an evening into a festive experience!
