The little Gilbert Downtown area called Heritage District is so cool! Free parking! There is a Farmers Market every Saturday morning and it is adorable. Live music, lots of produce, local items being sold, baked goods, jams, etc. along with food trucks so you can eat and walk around. We got some handmade lotion that smelled amazing and we rave about the breakfast burritos. The acai bowls are delicious too.
