Olthoff Street Stage Unveiling

The days of imagining lunchtime lectures, free outdoor concerts — even street performers playing for tips — are over with the completion of the open-air Olthoff Street Stage downtown. On October 15, 2009 the community gathered to celebrate this new venue, built with the support of Mike & Kay Olthoff (owners of Nichols Paper). Visitors enjoyed performances by members of West Michigan Symphony, Muskegon Civic Theatre, the Mona Shores Freshtet and Muskegon Heights Drum Corps.

How the stage will work: Nonprofit organizations, concert associations and residents can reserve the stage to guarantee its availability through Muskegon Main Street. Daily fee is $50. If the stage is not in use, anyone is welcome to use it for free. For more information, or to schedule the stage, contact Dan Rinsema-Sybenga at (231) 724-3180.
