Live Music and Community at Superior Inn in Thunder Bay

Some summer evenings are meant to be spent outside, surrounded by music and good company.

At Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre, Summer in the Parking Lot brought those things together, transforming an unexpected space into a place for Thunder Bay to gather.

What began in the hotel's parking lot became more than a concert series. It became an opportunity to showcase live music, welcome the community, and create another reason for people to come together at Superior Inn.

The Hotel Parking Lot Becomes a Stage

A hotel parking lot might not be the first place you'd expect to find a live concert.

But during Summer in the Parking Lot, the space outside Superior Inn became an open-air venue for musicians, hotel guests, Thunder Bay locals, families, and friends.

The series welcomed a variety of performers and musical styles throughout the summer, creating evenings built around live entertainment and community.

For Superior Inn, it was another way of showing that a hotel can be more than somewhere to spend the night.

Celebrating Live Music in Thunder Bay

Thunder Bay has a strong local music and arts community, and Summer in the Parking Lot created another stage where people could experience it.

Across the series, audiences had the opportunity to hear different artists and genres while gathering in a casual outdoor setting.

Some guests arrived specifically for the music. Others discovered a concert happening just outside the hotel.

Either way, the experience brought visitors and locals together through live entertainment.

More Than a Hotel

Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre is a place to stay, but it is also a place where people meet, dine, celebrate, and gather.

Events such as Summer in the Parking Lot are part of that broader connection to Thunder Bay.

From concerts and community events to meetings, conferences, celebrations, and fundraisers, the property provides spaces where different parts of the community can come together.

Dine at Lake & Spruce Restaurant

Located inside Superior Inn, Lake & Spruce Restaurant adds another dimension to an evening at the hotel.

Guests attending an event can meet for a meal before or after, while visitors staying at the hotel have convenient dining just steps from their room.

You don't need to be a hotel guest to dine at Lake & Spruce. Thunder Bay locals are welcome too.

Stay Where the Event Happens

For visitors travelling to Thunder Bay for an event, staying at the same property can make the experience easier.

Superior Inn offers a range of rooms and suites, free parking, Wi-Fi, indoor recreation, and on-site dining.

When events are hosted at the hotel, guests have the added convenience of being only steps from their room at the end of the evening.
