Clare Main Street

 There is a new twist on tradition as Clare Main Street works to preserve a way of life that has disappeared elsewhere, and regenerates opportunity for its future as entrepreneurs and fresh talent are finding that nothing can compare to Clare’s eclectic architecture and character.A photo of a woman dressed in as a leprechaun

The air is clear, you can smell the sweetness of life brewing as Clare gets ready to open for business serving up more of it famous hometown hospitality and homemade dreams. There’s something different about this downtown bustling with smiles and bursting with color. A relaxing place, with lots to do. Enjoy the great outdoors. 20 lakes. 20 miles. Irish tea. Pubs. Bakeries. Quaint shops, eateries, galleries and more. Golf. Stay at the historic Doherty Hotel where gangsters of yesteryear passed through. Buggy on by for authentic Amish crafts and pies.

Clare a place where every day is filled with country fresh charm. A family-friendly green-hearted community . Downtown Clare is Up North. You’ll love the way we live.
