Explore Lawrence
The town is full of locally-owned boutiques, shops and restaurants, live music, a vibrant music scene, and great people. It is also home to a second university – Haskell Indian Nations University.

If you are into arts and culture, head to the Warehouse Arts District, in East Lawrence. There, you’ll discover galleries, studios, and workshops nestled in historic buildings along cobblestone streets. If you work up a thirst along the way, local coffee and brews are just around the corner.

Massachusetts Street

No trip to Lawrence is complete without visiting Massachusetts Street. The locals call it “Mass Street.” Located in downtown Lawrence, Mass Street is home to many mom-and-pop boutiques and shops, music venues, clubs, coffee shops, restaurants and more. If you time it right, you may just luck out and catch a parade, or a festival.

For those who love the outdoors.
