GRAND RAPIDS, MI – May 15, 2026 – Wintrust Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: WTFC) today announced a new partnership with Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids, further strengthening its presence and commitment to the West Michigan community. 

The main entry gate and box office at the corner of Market and Cherry Street will officially be named the Wintrust Gate and Wintrust Box Office, creating a visible and lasting connection between the bank and one of the region’s newest cultural destinations. Acrisure Amphitheater is set to officially open on May 15 with a performance by Lionel Richie.
