City of Martin Outdoor Permanent Stage

The City of Martin utilized a Tourism Enhancement Grant to develop an outdoor stage attached to the city’s public library. The venue was designed as a professional stage (64’x48’) to accommodate any size production, including plays, concerts, and shows. Conceptually, the stage was designed to be a unique tourist attraction set at the helm of the Martin Historic Commercial District. In 2023, the City of Martin celebrated its most successful Tennessee Soybean Festival and sold every available seat for a Friday night concert, with ticket sales from several states and outside of the U.S.
