At the heart of the city, downtown Carmel combines local art, walkable streets, and community-centered spaces. Residents enjoy dining at long-time favorites like Muldoon’s or trying newer restaurants like Savor. Public events — from the Carmel International Arts Festival to the Christkindlmarkt — bring people together year-round, while music lovers head to The Palladium at the Center for the Performing Arts to see both local and international acts. Beyond the entertainment, Carmel’s well-connected trail system and abundance of parks, including Central Park, make outdoor recreation easy and accessible.
