About Lincoln Stage on Lincoln Road

Welcome to Lincoln Stage on Lincoln Road, a versatile outdoor covered stage located at the Emmerson Building within the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, IL. This 5,044 square foot open pavilion features a 25' x 16' raised stage, dressing rooms, and ADA accessibility, making it a dependable choice for concerts, fundraisers, car shows, weddings, and community events. With general-admission open-area seating and no fixed seating published, guests enjoy flexibility and an intimate vibe under the pavilion roof.

Whether you’re attending a music night, a charity event, or a special gathering, we've got you covered with practical details—from parking and transit options to nearby hotels and dining. Secure your seats or tickets through our trusted partners with a user-friendly, no-fuss booking experience.

The Lincoln Stage operates within the State Fairgrounds, a hub of activity that includes seasonal transit options via the Springfield Mass Transit District (SMTD) during fair season and occasional State Fair shuttle services. Nearby, you’ll find a range of hotels and restaurants recommended by trusted partners to fit different preferences and budgets. Although the venue supports a broad calendar, each event is treated as a standalone experience—check individual listings for date-specific details. For those planning events, the on-site facilities and dressing rooms provide essential amenities for performers and crews.

Future on-site development plans include a master plan that may discuss a potential on-site hotel, underscoring the venue’s ongoing role in Springfield’s event landscape. If you’re organizing or attending an event at Lincoln Stage, we’ve got connections to help you navigate logistics with ease.
