2026 Downtown Lofts Tour

Get a glimpse of what it’s like to live downtown! On Saturday, May 2, from 2pm-6pm, Downtown Joplin Alliance invites you to join its 2026 Downtown Lofts Tour, showcasing historic properties available to rent or buy in the downtown area. This "open house-style" tour will take you into some of downtown's most fascinating properties--some units will be fully furnished and occupied, others will still be in process of renovation. Expect to even see a few properties where restoration has not yet begun! The final lineup of buildings will be unveiled as the tour draws closer. Tickets are $25 and will grant entry to all properties on the tour, as well as a commemorative guidebook. Tickets will go on sale in early 2025. Separate tickets are also available for the after hours Tip Top Toast: A Vip Reception Under the Stars! Join us on the roof of the historic Columbian Building at 418 S Main St from 7pm-9pm, for live music, signature cocktails, and small plates. Tickets are $75 each, include a ticket for the daytime tour, and are limited in quantity. This is a rain or shine event--no refunds given. In case of the inclement weather, the Tip Top Toast Reception will move to a suitably awesome indoor location. All proceeds will benefit Downtown Joplin Alliance, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to the revitalization of our historic downtown district.
