So it was a church? and now it is a venue? Cool, good to hear Jax aloud something like that. Is the church made of stone?

The Church is made of stone.  The city owns it, but it is rarely used.  It also needs some work.  IIRC, the city tried to give it away to the Pension Fund not that long ago, basically for free as I recall.  That was dropped after objections were made to the low value.

It is in a great location and would make a good visitor's center or other use if the private sector does not want it, IMO.

The visitor's center will be going in next door.  It should officially open sometime this summer.

That church would make a great addition to meeting spaces available in downtown for private events such as weddings or lectures, workshops, musical events, community meetings. I notice that the library has a fee schedule for its rooms which does not cover custodial or security. Maybe the city would consider fixing up the church too as a private/public operation.

Great pictures, looks like the crowds were good!  Hope it comes back downtown next year.

Yeah, if it was at Met Park, it probably would've been cancelled due to sloppy areas.
