The Strand Center for the Arts is Plattsburgh’s premier performing arts venue — an intimate 400-seat theater on Brinkerhoff Street that brings live music, theater, and cultural events to the North Country. Originally built as a movie house, the Strand has been reimagined as a community-driven arts center that punches well above its weight in programming quality.
The venue hosts a mix of touring musicians, regional theater productions, film screenings, and community events. The intimate size means every seat delivers a close-up experience, and the Strand’s programming team has a knack for booking artists that surprise and delight audiences who might otherwise need to drive hours to see quality live entertainment.
Located in downtown Plattsburgh, the Strand is easily accessible from I-87 (the Northway) and is surrounded by the city’s restaurants and shops. For North Country music fans, the Strand Center is proof that great live entertainment doesn’t require a trip to Albany or Montreal.
