The Flats East Bank installed a Brand New Stage!

  • This stage will bring additional family-friendly programming to the Flats boardwalk, which will increase the number of visitors to Downtown
  • Downtown Cleveland, Inc. acted as the fiscal agent for the project and oversaw the construction of the new stage
  • With embedded theatrical lighting and power, this stage brings entertainment flexibility, setting the stage for a diverse range of performances.
  • The performance stage will be formally dedicated in the spring of 2024 at the onset of the Flats East Bank event season.
  • We look forward to assisting with more projects like this to keep Downtown programed year-round
