Carbondale is once again inviting the community to participate in the naming process for the soon-to-be-built Entertainment and Events Plaza in downtown. The City is seeking a name for the state-of-the-art stage that will host entertainment and performing arts, attracting visitors from across the region.
While the first round of suggestions focused on honoring individuals who have significantly contributed to Carbondale's music scene, the City is now aiming for a broader, more inclusive name that embodies the spirit of the entire community.
As the City prepares to break ground on Phase One of the Entertainment and Events Plaza, this naming contest represents a crucial step in creating a vibrant cultural hub that will become a focal point in downtown Carbondale.
The stage is expected to be a key feature of the plaza, offering a diverse array of performances and events that will draw people from near and far.
The first round of submissions brought in many thoughtful and meaningful suggestions, particularly those that highlighted the achievements of local music legends.
While these contributions are deeply valued, the City is eager to explore a name that reflects the collective identity of Carbondale—one that resonates with all residents and visitors alike.
Community members are encouraged to submit their ideas through the online form provided by the City.
Additionally, the City is looking into other ways to honor and recognize the individuals who have made a lasting impact on Carbondale’s music scene.
This is a unique opportunity for residents to contribute to a project that will shape the cultural landscape of Carbondale for years to come.
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this exciting process and help choose a name that will represent the heart and soul of Carbondale’s vibrant community!
