Lansing Downtown

On Friday, May 29th we’re cutting the ribbon on Phase 1. The first piece to open isn’t the main stage. It’s the Lansing Public Media Center, a community media facility attached to what will become a 2100-cap long awaited music venue in Downtown Lansing. Recording studios, podcast suites, post-production bays, and a 70-seat screening room in a building that will also serve as a core venue and HQ for the Capital City Film Festival. The Ovation staff offices are also located in this Phase.

Once open in 2027, the Ovation will have many features and components that make it super fun and memorable, but having the LPMC at its heart is the most unique one by far.

Phase 1 is the headline today. The main stage follows in 2027. You don’t have to wait to walk inside. Come celebrate with us, we’ll have performing live and popcorn popping!
