Your Complete Guide to Seating, Views, and VIP Options

Martin Luther King Jr. Park at Manhattan Square is a premier outdoor venue in Rochester, NY, hosting concerts, festivals, and community events. Known for its scenic setting and vibrant atmosphere, the park offers a mix of general admission and reserved seating. This guide breaks down the seating chart, views, and tips to help you choose the best spots.

Seating Chart Overview

• Lawn (General Admission): Affordable and spacious, but sightlines can be obstructed without elevation. Ideal for picnics and casual attendees.
• Reserved Sections (Front & Center): Closest to the stage with unobstructed views. Limited shade, so arrive early for evening events.
• Side Sections: Angled views but often less crowded. Great for budget-conscious fans who still want decent visibility.

Best Seats for Different Events

• Concerts: Reserved center sections (Rows A–F) for optimal sound and sightlines.
• Festivals: Lawn seating near the soundboard for balanced audio and space to move.
• Family Shows: Side sections with easy access to restrooms and concessions.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Front rows offer clear stage views, while lawn sightlines may be blocked by standing crowds. Side sections provide unique angles but may miss some visuals. Check for temporary structures (e.g., speaker towers) when booking.

VIP & Accessibility

• VIP Packages: Include premium seating, private restrooms, and concessions access.
• Accessibility: Designated ADA areas near entrances with companion seating.

Pro Tips
