Thank you to our community for coming aboard Shipyard District, Inc.'s sixth annual All Bands On Deck! 🚢🎵

We have a truly special communiy-driven festival in All Bands On Deck. It's only possible thanks to the hundreds of performers and sound technicians over the years, our district businesses, community sponsors, organizers, and the thousands of community members who support it.

We owe a special shoutout to our volunteer festival co-directors Kylie LaCombe and Tarl Knight as well as our volunteer board of directors for organizing and coordinating the festival.

Our festival isn't only a celebration of local music and businesses – it's a driver of community investment in our district. Because of your support, we're relocating the coal piles with our community partners at C. Reiss, redesigning our streetscapes along West Mason Street and South Ashland Avenue, working with neighborhood associations and community housing partners to welcome new residential and commercial developments, and filling our businesses along South Broadway and State Street with live music year round. Thank you all for being a part of building our district!

Save the date! Green Bay's biggest live music festival will return to the Shipyard District on Friday-Saturday, September 10-11, 2027!

Shipyard District, Inc. thanks our partners at C. Reiss for coming aboard as our lead community sponsor for our sixth annual All Bands On Deck! As a family-owned company, C. Reiss has been investing in our district along our historic Fox River waterway for over a century. We thank them for supporting live, local bands and local businesses in our mission to revitalize our Shipyard District! 🚢🎵

C. Reiss recently came to a land deal with Brown County to move the coal piles situated on the banks of the Fox River in the heart of the Shipyard District with a long-term community vision of transforming our waterfront with over $150 million in potential mixed-use, downtown-style development – paving the way for new businesses, hundreds of new jobs, and hundreds or possibly thousands of new residents. Thank you to C. Reiss for their continued investment in our community.

Brown County has officially signed a lease agreement with C. Reiss for a 60-year lease of the northern portion of the former Pulliam Power Plant site in downtown Green Bay. The agreement will relocate C. Reiss' salt piles from its Fox River Terminal to the new Pulliam Power Plant location and relocate its coal piles from the Fox River near West Mason Street in the Shipyard District to the Fox River Terminal. 👏🏻

The next phase of the historic project will include the remediation of the riverfront and C. Reiss, Brown County, and the City of Green Bay redeveloping the sites in the Shipyard District with mixed-used development, which is projected to carry an impact of $15 million.

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich said the vision for the 35-acre site will mirror other areas of our downtown.

"What we've seen throughout the rest of our downtown is what we'd like to see with that 35 acres," Genrich said. "Public access to our waterfront, probably additional housing, more public amenities, businesses that could benefit from being close to the river."

Thank you to all of the business owners, property owners, residents, and neighbors who spoke out and participated in the public conversation with local government to advance a vision for our waterfront corridor. It's a historic moment for the Shipyard District and our community. 🚢
