Make Memories with Music

Erie’s diverse and exciting music scene is on full display in our Downtown venues, offering something for everyone to enjoy. The city's stages, from cozy speakeasies to bustling arenas, echo with melodies that celebrate local creativity and bring international talents to the heart of the community. The musical landscape evolves throughout the year, as intimate performances bring people together before the energy swells with the summer and the city's vibrant music community spills onto the streets.

Whether you’re here for the thrill of a live band, the artistry of an open mic, or the chance to become someone’s new favorite artist, Downtown Erie sets the perfect stage for your next musical adventure.
