Lansing’s New Fish Ladder Music Park Climbs the Charts!

Wildly popular local 1980s tribute band, Starfarm, recently helped christen the new Fish Ladder Music Park amphitheater in the heart of Lansing, Michigan.

Inspired by the success of previous events along the Grand River, such as “Dam Jam,” the 1981 Brenke Fish Ladder in Lansing’s Old Town district has been beautifully transformed into an engaging outdoor performance venue with terraced seating for 350 attendees, while continuing to serve its original purpose.

Originally designed for aiding and observing salmon and trout on their journey to spawning grounds further upstream, the fish ladder will now also help spawn up-and-coming new artists, while also providing a unique venue for more established music veterans.

“This park features a permanent performance stage and seating inside the fish ladder along with an electric forest illuminating the park, bench swings, a gas fireplace and numerous accessibility features.” – Lansing.org

As a retired urban planner who resided in the Lansing area for many years, The Fish Ladder Music Park is a novel and exciting addition to the entire Michigan music scene. To adapt such an important resource into a multi-purpose facility that serves both environmental protection and live art performance functions at the same time, is great placemaking at its very best. Well done, Lansing!

Needless to say, some of our aquatic friends are going to be “schooled” on some great music while swimming their way through Lansing’s Old Town.

Peace!
