Entertainment Venue

 Appears the powers that be in Carbondale have decided not to name the downtown entertainment venue after a particular individual and are now looking for a more inclusive or general name.  However, I bet if someone made  a large enough financial donation to help build the pavilion, the city would name it after whomever they wanted. I do like the idea of putting bricks in the pavilion with the names of important contributors to Carbondale's Musical Scene.

ATTENTION CARBONDALE! You are cordially invited to join the Stage Name Brainstorm ROUND TWO!    

 Last January, we issued a similar call for ideas, and were so blown away by the response.  A great many of you suggested naming the venue after individuals who have made important contributions to Carbondale’s music scene. Rather than naming this space after a specific individual, we are striving to broaden the scope of this venue name to be inclusive, diverse, unifying. We are seeking ideas that highlight a broader venue name and that do not directly focus on any one individual.   

  The timing for this is perfect – the City is about to break ground on Phase One of the Entertainment and Events Plaza in downtown Carbondale.  Phase One will include a state-of-the-art stage that will host entertainment and the performing arts, and attract visitors from across the region and beyond to the heart of Carbondale!   

  We were humbled by the amazing response from our first call for naming suggestions of the Entertainment and Events Plaza, and want to thank all of you who submitted your ideas and input! A multitude of responses highlighted impactful community members who have left their mark on Carbondale in various and important ways.    

  In order to celebrate all of those who used their talents to help make Carbondale’s music scene so special and unique, we are currently exploring other ways to honor and recognize these individuals.   

  If you feel called to submit an idea to the team with this new direction in mind, we welcome you to submit your suggestions via the form in the link below:
