Situated along the Merrimack River in the historic city of Lowell, Massachusetts, the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell stands as a vibrant hub for live entertainment, collegiate athletics, and large-scale community events. Opened in 1998 and named after the late U.S. Senator Paul Tsongas, a Lowell native, the venue has grown into a cornerstone of New England’s entertainment landscape.
