About Elmwood Park Amphitheater

Elmwood Park sits at the south end of downtown Roanoke, next to the main public library and within walking distance of the Roanoke Market, Center in the Square, and most downtown restaurants and hotels. The amphitheater hosts the city's biggest outdoor shows — from free community concert series to ticketed touring acts — and is the main venue for Festival in the Park, the annual Memorial Day weekend celebration that kicks off the summer season.

If you're planning a trip to Roanoke for a show at Elmwood Park, downtown parking decks are an easy walk, and the venue is close to the Hotel Roanoke, the Liberty Trust, and the rest of downtown's hotels and Airbnbs. The free Friday Party in Elmwood shows are family-friendly; the larger ticketed concerts vary by event — check the individual event page for age and food/drink policies.
