The downtown area is called "Lower Town." Most of the buildings have been here since the beginning of the town in the late 1890's. A lot of these buildings even were here during the big flood. Paducah has received some grants from the government, which allows artists to move here and open art galleries. During the summer there are many art festivals, music festivals, BBQ and food festivals...it's a great place to be during the summer! The biggest festival though is the Quilt Festival. This happens every April. Paducah is known as "Quilt City U.S.A." and people come from all over the world to this quilt show!
