Great Experiences Are Coming To Western Mass

Entertainment is all about the experience, and it starts with the right venue. From the moment you step into an event space to the last note a musician plays, every detail should excite and inspire, leaving patrons eager for more. That feeling of anticipation begins the moment you arrive—fueled by the buzz of the crowd, the welcoming smiles of ticket attendants, and the creativity of bartenders crafting signature drinks. A great venue doesn’t just host events; it creates memories that stay with you long after the night ends.

In Western Mass, our audiences are sophisticated and discerning. As an executive director of a venue, I know we have a responsibility to exceed their expectations every time. With so many options available—from restaurants hosting live music to larger concert halls—venues must go beyond the ordinary to deliver exceptional, unforgettable experiences. This means curating a diverse, engaging lineup and creating a space that amplifies every event, from concerts to cultural celebrations.

A New Venue Comes to Springfield

52 Sumner, located on Sumner Avenue in Springfield, is the area’s newest destination for unique and exciting events. Our mission is to make every concert, play, fundraiser, wedding, or cultural gathering a true feast for the senses.

The venue itself is a masterpiece. Housed in a beautifully renovated church, we’ve retained its historic architectural charm while giving it a modern twist, making it a versatile and striking space for any occasion. State-of-the-art lighting and sound systems ensure an outstanding experience for both performers and audiences, and our bartenders are experts at curating specialty drinks to complement the vibe of each event.

Our calendar reflects the diversity and vibrancy of our community. From our partnership with the Springfield Chamber Players to timeless favorites like the Valentine’s Day performance of Love Letters and an extensive Tribute Concert Series, there’s something for everyone.

At 52 Sumner, we are passionate about creating inclusive experiences that bring people together – recently partnering with YPS on the annual Friendsgiving celebration (click here to check out an IG reel of some of the fun). We saw the need for a venue that delivers not just events, but truly memorable moments—and we’re excited to welcome you to be part of it.
