HISTORY
The Cannery building on Crane Street sat dormant for seven years until husband-and-wife team Josh and Julie Fitzgerald saw its potential while searching for a new location for Julie's dance studio. They envisioned a venue where music, entertainment, and community could come together. The Cannery held its grand opening on October 3, 2025 but permanently closed by December 2025 according to JamBase, just two months after opening.
