Welcome to Downtown Canonsburg!
Charm and variety is what you'll find in Downtown Canonsburg. Located just off I79, we are a hop skip and a jump from the city of Pittsburgh (In List maker 2012!!), minutes away from the Meadow's Racetrack/Casino and Tanger Outlet Mall, and just "down the block" from world famous Sarris Candies. Gifts, collectibles, antiques, treasures, and home décor with everything from furniture to flooring. Need a bite to eat? Choose between Greek cuisine, favorite burger, pizza and sub shops, the local coffee shop, and good ole American fare. Downtown Canonsburg is a gathering place for all with events like our Blast Before the 4th and the very patriotic 4th of July Parade, PA Bavarian Oktoberfest, the Monster Mash Bash and Old Fashion Christmas celebration bringing the young and not so young into the heart and soul of the community for festive fun times throughout the year.
We’ll welcome and surprise you while making your own downtown discoveries!

gracing the walls in the Our Town Cooperative office.

“We are so
fortunate to have such creative students in the community”, states Nadeen

partnerships and projects with the students and faculty at Canon-Mac in the near
future”.
