Kelly Plaza

Specific Need

WaKeeney Main Street is revitalizing the historic site of the former Kelly Theater. Soon to become Kelly Plaza, this open-air space will honor our past while serving the needs of our present community.

What’s Coming:

• A restored theater façade with a digital marquee
• Public restrooms, vital for local events
• A welcoming space for friends, families, and visitors
• A raised stage for music, performances, and community events
• Food truck access and vendor areas

Your Support Can Help Build This Dream! Money raised during Give Fest will help fund construction of the project, as well as cover future maintenance and upgrades to the Plaza following its completion. 

Approximately 50% of our $480,000 project budget has been raised through grants and generous donations—but we still need your help to cross the finish line. In conjunction with the Heartland Community Foundation's matching dollars, your donation goes further on Give Fest to help us reach our goal!
