Legacy Square

overlook of Legacy Square

Information coming soon on grand opening! Save the date, June 6, 2026. Check back at this page for more details in the coming days.

Legacy Square is a visionary project designed to create an inclusive arts and culture hub that will be a lasting amenity providing entertainment, activations, and opportunities for our residents, businesses, community, and visitors for many years to come in Renton's downtown area. This summer, it will harness the excitement of the World Cup 2026, coming to Seattle for its initial launch.

The space will serve as a vibrant location for watch parties, the arts, play, events, and more. This initiative strives to ensure accessibility for all, regardless of financial constraints, demographics, or backgrounds. Thank you RAVE Foundation for their partnership and contribution of the soccer mini pitch.

We are looking forward for the community to leave their LEGACY.

Why are we doing this?

Every event at Legacy Square is designed to create movement and community connectedness. We want to: 

  • Attract visitors to Renton 
  • Create excitement and opportunities to encourage people to stay, explore, eat, and shop
  • Put a spotlight on our small businesses during the high-traffic summer season
  • Explore the possibilities of what Legacy Square can offer our community  

The future of Legacy Square

Summer 2026 is just the beginning. We are working on what this what works, learning in real time, and building a model that supports:

  • Small business growth
  • Arts and culture
  • Community gathering
  • Long-term downtown vibrancy
