New music venue to open in downtown Green Bay


GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – A new all-inclusive music and event venue will open in the former Schauer & Schumacher building at 227 E. Walnut Street in downtown Green Bay.

Revelry says it aims to revitalize a downtown strip that has been vacant for 23 years.

The dual-floor space will be concert venue able to hold 425 music lovers with a sound and lighting system. There will be a bar and smaller stage for local and acoustic performances with a capacity of 220 on the first floor.

Revelry aims to fill a gap in Green Bay’s music scene by attracting mid-level national tours that typically bypass the city for Madison and Milwaukee.

While the primary focus of the space will be to bring concerts to downtown, the space will also be available for gatherings such as small weddings, fundraisers, galas and private parties.

“The partners involved in this project have been working in and supporting the Green Bay music scene for many, many years,” said Thomas Johnson, general manager of Revelry. “We recognized a need for a mid-sized venue and set out to forge our own path by creating a space that not only can handle 400-plus capacity shows, but can also be an everyday hangout for people who love and enjoy music.”

Revelry is slated to open Aug. 1, with a grand opening celebration scheduled for Aug. 28 and 29.
