Grand Rapids is entering an exciting new entertainment chapter, one that music lovers won’t want to miss. Opening this May, the Acrisure Amphitheater is set to transform the city’s riverfront into a premier destination for live entertainment, bringing big-name concerts, local talent, and unforgettable summer nights to the heart of downtown.
If you’re planning a stay at our bed and breakfast, The Leonard at Logan House, here’s why this brand-new venue should be on your must-do list.
A Stunning Riverfront Setting

The venue is designed to blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, with green space, walking paths, and scenic riverfront views, creating an experience that feels both energetic and relaxing.
The setting alone makes it one of the most unique entertainment venues in West Michigan.
A World-Class Outdoor Concert Experience
The amphitheater is designed as a state-of-the-art performance space, built to host major touring artists as well as regional and local acts. With a capacity of around 12,000, it strikes a balance between large-scale concerts and an intimate outdoor feel.
