Downtown

Step into downtown Fort Wayne’s reimagined destination for live entertainment, community gatherings, and cultural celebration. Housed in the beautifully historic Scottish Rite Center—originally built in 1925—this new venue will honor its nearly century-old legacy with stunning Moorish design details and grand gathering spaces. For decades, this landmark hosted memorable performances, elegant events, and was a hub for creativity in the heart of the city.

Now, with renovations and upgrades underway, this venue will usher in a new era downtown in 2028. Our ballroom and auditorium will be updated to welcome symphonic concerts, touring artists, school field trips, and cherished local productions. The iconic Horseshoe Lobby and elegant ballroom will offer modern amenities while preserving the building’s timeless character.

Experience how artistry, innovation, and community come together in every seat. Whether you’re planning an event, attending a concert, or supporting young performers, you’ll discover inspiration where Fort Wayne’s cultural heartbeat shines brightest. Join us to create new, unforgettable moments in a venue where history meets the excitement of today and tomorrow.
