Dear partners,
We have incredible news to share—Eau Claire has been named one of USA Today’s “10 Hidden Gems Everyone Should Explore”!
To be highlighted in such a major national publication is a huge moment for our community. It’s a celebration of everything that makes Eau Claire remarkable—our unmatched arts and music scene, our welcoming spirit, our thriving food scene, and the natural beauty that surrounds us.
This recognition comes from Wander, a luxury vacation rental service, which analyzed data from Google searches, TripAdvisor, Instagram, and Numbeo. They factored in dining, museums, safety, cleanliness, and more—and Eau Claire rose to the top as one of only 10 destinations nationwide to earn this honor.
Moments like these remind us how far Eau Claire has come and just how bright our future is. We’re thrilled to see our community gaining national attention, and we couldn’t have reached this milestone without the energy, creativity, and dedication of partners like you.
Together, we’re putting Eau Claire on the map—and today, the whole country is taking notice.
