More about Elmwood Park Amphitheater
Elmwood is the main outdoor stage downtown, right off Jefferson Street. It holds over 4,000 people on an awesome sloped and terraced lawn with good sight lines pretty much everywhere. This is where the bigger free concert series, festivals, and symphony events land in the summer. When something's going on and the weather cooperates, the whole place fills in.
