There’s a New Mann in town.
It’s exciting, it’s fun, and it’s NEW! The Mann’s NEW look, restaurant with a NEW view, NEW outdoor lobby, NEW artistic director and NEW season line-up aren’t the only fun we have planned for the 30th Anniversary season. We’ve scheduled a plethora of Anniversary Extras just for you.

Picnic Competitions are back!
Imaginative picnics take center stage on The Mann Center’s lawn. Experience the revival of this favorite Mann pastime with competitions this summer on Thursday, June 22 and Friday, July 14. For more details about themes, registration, and judging CLICK HERE.

ENCORE DELIGHTS! If you’re just getting started when the concert is winding down, stay after the show to relax in our new outdoor lobby. Let the crowds and traffic clear while you sip mocha and enjoy an extra set of live music in PECO Plaza. Check the schedule below for dates and other special events we have planned.
