Top 6 Concerts & Shows in South Bend, Indiana (IN)
The 150-year-old University of Notre Dame is South Bend's biggest tourist draw, and for good reason. Though it's not easy to land seats at the 80,000-plus-capacity Notre Dame Stadium for a "Fighting Irish" football game, you'll find plenty of attractions on the beautiful, expansive campus. Highlights include numerous works of art, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, a replica of the famous shrine. Football fans will also want to visit the College Football Hall of Fame, which features interesting perspectives on the game and inductee videos. Whether or not you remember the Studebaker automobile, which saw its demise in the early sixties, you're sure to enjoy the Studebaker National Museum, featuring more than 75 vehicles drawn from the history of the company, beginning with horse-drawn carriages. South Bend has several fine museums, including the South Bend Regional Museum of Art and the Northern Indiana Center for History, a complex of four museums. Don't leave without trying truffles or fudge from the South Bend Chocolate Company.

1. DeBartolo Performing Arts Center
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 13 reviews
Here dance, music, theater and cinema aren't charming diversions: They are unconventional inspirations. Home to five performance venues, a performer's hall, scene and costume shops, numerous classrooms and more, it may be difficult to ignore the center's physical presence. The raw size and footage of the center is impressive, yet the center's real strength is its emotional and intellectual impact of integrating the arts into Notre Dame student and community life.

I experienced a concert at the Morris Performing Arts Center recently and really appreciated the beauty of the venue. The restored architecture in the auditorium and foyer is dazzling and the illuminated marquee on the front of the building is cool. I've attached photos of all 3. I don't live in South Bend, but I hope to return to the Morris Performing Arts Center. It's a great place to take in a show.
