Kalamazoo Area

Because of its location between several major cities and just 30 minutes from the Lake Michigan shore, Kalamazoo is a frequent stop for many of today's top comedians, musicians and other entertainers.  The city is home to the Kalamazoo Ballet, the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra and the prestigious Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival.  Theater is alive and thriving in Kalamazoo. The Kalamazoo Civic Theatre is one of the oldest, largest, and most-respected community theatres in the United States.  Venues such as WMU's Miller Auditorium, Wings Stadium and the historic Chenery Auditorium and State Theater offer concerts featuring every kind of music and popular entertainment. Last year the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts hosted a major exhibition of glass artist Dale Chihuly’s work.  The Kalamazoo Valley Museum, the Kalamazoo Film Society, and the Western Film Society offer other cultural opportunities.  For more information, click on Kalamazoo Area on the home page.
