Welcome to Fish Ladder Music Park, our region’s newest outdoor performance venue and riverfront destination. 

Located on the bank of the Grand River in Old Town, this space transforms the historic Brenke Fish Ladder into a lively hub for live music, community gatherings, and everyday enjoyment.

With a permanent stage and tiered seating, it offers an immersive experience for audiences of all sizes. A plug-and-play sound and lighting system makes event production seamless, while the park’s thoughtful amenities enhance every visit:

• Outdoor fireplace and bench swings overlooking the river
• Creatively lit trees that bring the space to life at night
• Full accessibility for all visitors

This park transforms a previously underused site into a vibrant hub, supporting cultural activity, public access, and the local economy. It is now open for public, private, and nonprofit events, including concerts, festivals, wellness classes, corporate gatherings, and community celebrations.
