The Magic Bag

You'll Love It Here

This historic theatre turned Venue has a colorful history. First the Ferndale Theatre in 1929, it became metro Detroit’s first Independent Movie House in the 60’s. An Adult Theatre throughout the late 70’s & early 80’s, it was shut down by the county before opening as a Music Venue in the mid 90’s.

For the last 20 years, The Magic Bag has continuously been voted SouthEast Michigan’s favorite place to see a show.

Located in a hip part of town a mile north of Detroit, the venue has an intimate setting & a pretty cool vibe.

The room is tiered into three sections, so there’s not a bad sight-line in house.

If you’re lucky enough to get down to the pit/stage side, you’ll be so close to the artist that you’ll be able to peak at the set list & maybe even be invited up on stage a la Dancing in the Dark!
