Monte Rio Amphitheater

The Monte Rio Amphitheater is the Lower River’s showcase for outdoor events. The stage area is surrounded by tall redwoods, creating a perfect natural theater under the stars. Sloped lawn seating is bordered by an accessible path to the front for V.I.P. events. This path runs adjacent to the Tennis and Basketball Courts and the Parkside Community Garden. The Amphitheater is home to the Monte Rio Variety Show which has come to almost define the spot. For more than 100 years this annual musical variety show has generated funds that assist local schools, churches and Fire District.

The Amphitheater has also been the site of events such as Picnic Under the Stars, Music in the Park, Women’s Weekend Festival, Autumn Fair and various other fundraisers and craft fairs.

The two story playhouse has space for a ‘green room’, with electrical and sound equipment above. A service road allows for easy movement of vehicles, V.I.P.’s and support staff to the stage area. Both public and reserved parking areas and a bus stop are within a few minutes walking distance. Restrooms are available privately for events. A small facility with concession window can be rented separately, when available.

(Note: all events with over 50 persons must rent additional portable toilets).

The Amphitheater is within a few minutes walking distance from river access (fly-fishing, boat launch, summer food and boat rental concessions), restaurants and riverfront lodging.

1,000 – 1,200 in theater-style seating
