It's easy to understand why Longview offers an authentic East Texas experience.

Longview is full of friendly folks and is a small city that is very BIG ON SERVICE!  That's the nature of Real East Texas Living. The shopping, dining and activities available in Longview can help any visitor connect to what is best about Longview..

In the heart of the historical Main Street district stands Longview's landmark clock tower on the beautifully renovated Tyler Street. Antique shops, boutiques, crafter malls, restaurants, coffee shops and more line the streets of downtown.

Festivals are a favorite attraction for Longview with Party in the Pines Motorcycle Rally on Memorial Day weekend followed by June's AlleyFest and the Great Texas Balloon Race in July. Other special events include Freeze Your Fanny bike ride, the Longview Kennel Club's annual AKC Dog Show,  Cinco de Mayo, and Zonta Antique Show and Sale.
