The Comedy Arena prides itself on producing all types of comedy styles, from sketch, to stand up, but especially improv. They don't just put on shows. It's also a venue that teaches students how to become comedic performers and take the stage whether for performance purposes, or just in life. The Comedy Arena is available to host your private events as the arena/theater itself can be bought out for a day/night if needed.

Hamm's is a family-owned butcher shop, specializing in custom cuts of prime and choice beef, pork, and chicken. Their smoked brisket and pulled pork have been McKinney favorites for more than 40 years, and has been the home of the spiral cut “Honey Glazed” ham since 1984. Jose has been cutting meat at Hamm's since 1981. If you want a custom-cut steak for a special occasion or you want a side of beef processed to your liking to fill up your freezer, Jose is the butcher for the job! Stop in and get to know him; you’ll be glad you did! Just like the butcher shops of the past, the folks at Hamm’s Meat+Market strive to provide quality meats that you will love. If you have a special request, just ask and they'll do everything they can to accommodate your request.

We are Holly & Shannon, besties who have a passion for flowers and cake. We met while producing weddings in the DFW area over 10 years ago. Holly had a very successful floral business and Shannon was well known all over the country for her artistic wedding cakes. Over the years we began working together and partnering on weddings and events. We are so excited for our latest venture, putting our passions for floral and cake into Have & Hold, our newest location in Downtown McKinney, Tx. As wedding floral designers we have over 15 years experienced working with the most beautiful flowers from all over the world. And as bakers, we source the best natural ingredients and bake everything fresh from scratch, and made to order.

The Chestnut Hall is located on the second floor of a brand-new building at the corner of Chestnut and Louisiana Streets in historic downtown McKinney, Texas. Its position above the street gives every event an elevated sense of occasion — quite literally. What was once a deteriorating structure deemed uninhabitable has been transformed by owners Ben and Alycia into a beautiful modern building featuring a stunning 3,000-square-foot event space and a captivating open-air balcony. The result is a venue that feels both fresh and rooted — contemporary in its design, yet completely at home among the beloved brick storefronts and historic charm that make downtown McKinney so special.

McKinney is quickly becoming the destination for sporting events in the metroplex. Each year, thousands of people come to town to participate in or cheer for a wide range of sporting events. Watch high school or collegiate football games at the McKinney ISD Stadium & Community Event Center.

Or meet at The Courts Tennis Facility for a game of tennis or even a pickleball tournament. And of course, enjoy some time on the greens of a local public course or watch the pros at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch each May each year. No matter what your sporting event interest, Visit McKinney is here ready to assist you.
