About this Event

Come celebrate with us! Bring a picnic, your blanket, and your friends and family to enjoy a day of music and fun. Food trucks will be available on site.

After seven years and countless volunteer hours spent doing outreach, planning, design, and fundraising, the new Amphitheater at Volunteer Park is opening. This is the first new building for this historic park in 50 years and it is the only public outdoor stage in the region capable of supporting professional dance with its custom-designed resilient stage floor. The former amphitheater, an aging concrete-and-brick stage, needed major upgrades to meet our community’s needs. Volunteer Park Trust led the effort to replace that structure with a new, thoughtfully designed facility by the award-winning architectural team at ORA.

The new Amphitheater includes full ADA accessibility, a roof, all-gender bathrooms, storage space, an actors’ dressing room, and a resilient stage floor for performance. When not used for performances, the stage’s back wall will swing back, creating an inviting, covered pavilion.
