MERCHANTS HALL

Merchants Hall is a multi-purpose event space at 40-42 Merchants Row in downtown Rutland, located within a 19th-century commercial building on one of the city's historic business corridors. The venue is an intimate room described as a small theater with a center-stage configuration. It hosts a range of programming from music to theater to lectures.

Events include live music across genres, theatrical productions, art installations, lectures, and private rentals. Shows are typically held Wednesday through Saturday nights. The center-stage layout and small room create an up-close performance experience. The venue also serves the local arts community as a flexible rental space.

Merchants Hall occupies a storefront on Merchants Row, a well-preserved block of brick commercial buildings from the second half of the 19th century that is representative of Vermont's larger cities around 1900. The space operates as Rutland's primary small-format performing arts venue, filling a niche between the larger Paramount Theatre and bar-based live music in the region.
