The piazza at Studio Park in downtown Grand Rapids will be the site of Studio C’s summertime outdoor programming beginning in June.
The events include movies, music and fitness activities, hosted by Celebration Cinema, Listening Room, Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse, and GR Sport and Social Club.
“This is more than a 2020 reprise,” said Quinn Matthews, manager of Listening Room and piazza events. “This was always the vision. There will be events and activities taking place multiple times a day, most days of the week. Studio Park’s piazza was designed for activation with a state-of-the-art sound system, digital screen and direct service of food and beverage from 123 Tavern’s outdoor bar. Last year pushed things along and brought focus to outdoor events, Thankfully, this space was ready. We have some strange yet sweet memories of opportunities it provided to gather during a hard year.”
