About us

The LOT Downtown, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is so much more than just a music venue. It’s a gathering place where people have raised money for cancer victims, had giant water balloon fights, hosted over 2,000 families for festivals, and most importantly, it’s a place where you can find your inner Mansfield.

We need your help. 

It goes without saying, we’re walking through an unprecedented time. We are challenged and working daily to navigate our new normal like many of you. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused swift changes in the way we operate, how we serve, and our ability to bring our community together to enjoy life through the arts at our live events in Historic Downtown Mansfield.

​

We’re asking for you to give big as we need your help to keep our program alive! Your donations enable The LOT Downtown to build community through live events, support our local music scene, and promote Historic Downtown Mansfield. Give the gift of live events to your community by donating to The LOT Downtown and prove you believe that the arts are essential!

Thanks to our annual partners

Our history

In 2013, Justin Gilmore, local business owner and architect, began rough sketches of a outdoor performance venue that would eventually be called "The LOT Downtown." Today, The LOT is not only a physical structure at 110 S. Main Street, but also the designation for a 501(c)3 organization responsible for its funding, programs and its future.
