About Black River Landing

Black River Landing (BRL) is a public waterfront park and outdoor amphitheater in Lorain, Ohio, serving as a dynamic hub for concerts, festivals, and community events. The venue features flexible lawn seating with potential front-area seating configurations, and recent renderings show the ability to add or remove seats depending on the event. The planned permanent amphitheater aims to elevate performances with a larger, more durable stage while preserving BRL’s signature waterfront atmosphere.

Located at 421 Black River Lane, BRL sits near Broadway and downtown Lorain, offering easy access to local shops, dining, and accommodations. The site regularly hosts the popular Rockin’ On The River series, Lorain International Festival, BrewFest, Blues Fest, Reggae Fest, The Summer Market, and other large community events that bring visitors from across the region.

Whether you’re here for a summer concert, a festival weekend, or a casual waterfront stroll, BRL provides a family-friendly setting with a scenic backdrop and a strong sense of community. We’ve got you covered with current event listings, practical details, and insider tips to secure your seats and plan a smooth visit.

Parking at BRL is typically free during Rockin’ On The River events, with additional off-site options as the site develops its stage project. Transit is convenient thanks to the FREE Water Taxi service that operates during most festivals between BRL and Oasis Marinas at Port Lorain, and The Shipyards, offering a hassle-free way to arrive without relying on a car. For accommodations, the nearby Ariel Hotel serves as a comfortable option for guests looking to stay within walking distance of the venue and downtown Lorain’s amenities. In addition to lodging, nearby restaurants provide a range of dining choices to suit pre- or post-show cravings.

Event-by-event seating is flexible, with lawn seating largely GA and potential for limited front-area seats depending on the production. Keep an eye on venue updates as the existing canopy and top structure near end-of-life with the transition to the new permanent amphitheater. Whether you’re planning for a single concert or a multi-day festival, we’ll help you secure your seats and navigate the best travel and lodging options for your visit.

For performers and organizers, BRL is a scalable venue that accommodates large audiences while maintaining a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. To stay connected with official announcements and events, follow BRL’s updates and check the venue’s pages regularly for the latest information.
