About Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center

Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center, also known as CMAC, is an outdoor amphitheatre located at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, New York. Opened in 2006, it is operated by Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The venue holds approximately 15,000 guests, with roughly 5,000 reserved pavilion seats and around 10,000 spaces on the sloping lawn.

The amphitheatre is regarded as the premier outdoor concert venue in the Finger Lakes region and one of the primary large-scale summer music destinations in the greater Rochester area. Its seasonal calendar runs primarily from late spring through early fall and features touring concerts across rock, country, pop, jam band, and hip-hop, along with orchestral/classical performances and family and community events.

Named for Constellation Brands and Marvin Sands, founder of what became Constellation Brands, the venue is known for its covered reserved pavilion, large grass lawn, and scenic Finger Lakes campus setting.

Location & Transportation

Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center is located at 3355 Marvin Sands Drive, Canandaigua, NY 14424 — on the campus of Finger Lakes Community College in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

Driving and Parking: CMAC is primarily a car-access venue located off New York routes near Canandaigua. On-site and nearby campus parking is available, and lots can fill around doors and showtime for large concerts. Arriving early is advisable for popular events, especially high-demand summer headliners.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are workable at the venue. Because CMAC is in a more rural setting, post-event pickup wait times and surge pricing can occur when large crowds leave at once.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available in and around Canandaigua, including hotels near the city center and along the Canandaigua Lake area. Additional options are available in the broader Rochester metro for visitors willing to drive.

Venue Navigation

Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center has a straightforward amphitheatre layout, with covered reserved pavilion seating nearest the stage and a large general-admission lawn rising behind it. Understanding whether your ticket is for the pavilion or the lawn helps you plan your route, arrival time, and setup for the show.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through amphitheatre gates that lead toward the pavilion and lawn areas. Separate paths typically guide reserved-seat and lawn ticketholders toward their respective areas.

Seating Levels: The venue transitions from reserved covered pavilion sections closest to the stage to a large open grass lawn behind and above the pavilion. Pavilion seats are reserved by section and row, while lawn seating is a general grass area.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available. As an outdoor campus venue, accessible parking and pathways are provided, and specific accommodations can be arranged through the venue.

Getting to Your Section: Pavilion ticketholders should follow section and row information on their tickets, while lawn guests should be prepared for a general-admission grass area. Expect walking across grass and gentle slopes, especially when accessing or moving around the lawn.

Dining Options

How Much Do Tickets to Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center Cost?

Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from lawn-access concerts and community events to high-demand summer headliners.

For lawn and general-admission concerts, tickets can start as low as roughly $25–$50. Lawn seating is typically the most affordable way to experience a show at CMAC and offers a relaxed, open-air atmosphere behind the reserved pavilion.

For mid-tier reserved pavilion concerts, tickets typically fall around $50–$125. These seats place you closer to the stage and under the covered pavilion, with assigned sections and rows.

For high-demand headliners, premium pavilion seating can reach $150 or more. Artist popularity, event type, demand, seat location, and day of week all help drive pricing, with premium reserved areas closest to the stage often seeing the strongest demand.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing, especially for high-demand summer headliners. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise.

Getting Ready for Your Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor amphitheatre where parking, weather, and lawn terrain can shape the experience.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for popular shows, as parking lots and access roads can congest near showtime.
• Wear the right footwear. The venue involves walking across grass and sloped lawn areas, so comfortable footwear is advisable, especially for lawn seating.
• Dress in layers. CMAC is an open-air venue exposed to weather. Bring layers, sun protection, and rain gear, as events proceed in most conditions and Finger Lakes evenings can cool down.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Parking lots and access roads can become busy near showtime, so give yourself a larger arrival window for popular concerts.
• Know your entrance. Your ticket indicates whether you hold pavilion or lawn access, and checking it before arriving helps you follow the correct entry path.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
