About Elmwood Park Amphitheater

Elmwood Park Amphitheater is an outdoor amphitheatre located within Elmwood Park at 706 S. Jefferson St, Roanoke, VA 24016. The current amphitheater and permanent stage were added when Elmwood Park reopened in 2013 following a major redevelopment. The park is owned by the City of Roanoke and managed through Roanoke Parks and Recreation / Play Roanoke, with event programming involving Downtown Roanoke Inc. and partners. For concerts, capacity is approximately 4,000 to 5,000 guests, depending on the event configuration and mix of fixed seating, reserved areas, lawn, and general admission space.

The venue serves as a centerpiece outdoor performance space in downtown Roanoke, hosting concerts across country, rock, pop, Americana, and other genres, along with music festivals, community events, and recurring series. Its calendar includes events such as the Budweiser Summer Series, Party in Elmwood, and Down by Downtown festival dates, with warm-weather programming concentrated from spring through fall.

Elmwood Park Amphitheater is known for its amphitheater bowl carved into the sloping terrain of Elmwood Park, where tiered seating and grassy lawn areas step down toward a permanent outdoor stage.

Location & Transportation

Elmwood Park Amphitheater is located at 706 S. Jefferson St, Roanoke, VA 24016 — in downtown Roanoke within walking distance of the main library, City Market, and the central business district.

Driving and Parking: Most attendees arrive by car. Downtown parking garages and surface lots serve the park, including facilities near the Roanoke Main Library, the Church Avenue garage, and other downtown structures. On-street parking is also available, and garages are a short walk from the amphitheater. For popular concerts, nearby garages can fill ahead of major shows, so arriving early helps with both parking and gate screening.

Transit: Elmwood Park Amphitheater is served by Valley Metro bus routes with stops in the central business district near the park. Transit access is practical for some local attendees, though availability is more limited than in larger metro areas.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in Roanoke, and downtown drop-off near Jefferson Street and surrounding blocks is convenient. Larger concert nights can create post-event congestion, so rideshare pickup may take longer after the show.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Roanoke hotels are within walking distance or a short drive of the venue. Options include the historic Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center and other properties around the City Market and downtown core.

Venue Navigation

Elmwood Park Amphitheater has an open-air bowl layout that slopes down toward the stage, so understanding the venue’s terrain and seating arrangement before arrival helps you move more efficiently. The layout combines fixed and tiered seating closer to the stage with open lawn areas higher in the bowl.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through gated outdoor access points off the surrounding downtown streets in the Jefferson Street, Williamson Road, and Bullitt Avenue area. Ticket scanning takes place at the gates during ticketed events.

Seating Levels: The venue uses a sloped amphitheater arrangement instead of enclosed concourse levels. Seating typically includes front or reserved areas nearest the stage, central tiered seating facing the performance area, and an open grass lawn section higher up the bowl. Configurations can vary by event, with some shows emphasizing general admission and others adding reserved seating.

Accessibility: As a city park amphitheater, Elmwood Park Amphitheater provides accessible pathways and accessible seating or viewing areas. Accessible parking is available in nearby downtown facilities.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct attendees at ticketed events. Because the venue slopes toward the stage and includes grass lawn areas and inclines, comfortable footwear is a smart choice for moving around the amphitheater.

How Much Do Tickets to Elmwood Park Amphitheater Cost?

Elmwood Park Amphitheater 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 community concert series to high-demand headliners and festival dates.

General admission, lawn, and community series events such as Party in Elmwood can start at approximately $10 to $30, depending on the event and available ticket type.

Mid-tier reserved concerts, including Summer Series shows, are typically in the approximately $30 to $75 range. Reserved seating closer to the stage can cost more than lawn or general admission areas.

High-demand headliners and festival passes can be approximately $75 or more, with prices driven by the artist, festival versus single-show format, demand, and whether the ticket is general admission or reserved.

Best Seats at Elmwood Park Amphitheater

• Best value: Lawn and general-admission areas are typically the most affordable way to experience a show at Elmwood Park Amphitheater, especially for fans who want a relaxed outdoor setting.

Getting Ready for Your Elmwood Park Amphitheater Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an open-air downtown amphitheater with lawn areas, inclines, and busy summer concert crowds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Large downtown crowds can congest mobile networks during peak concerts. 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. Give yourself extra time for downtown parking and gate screening, especially for popular concerts when nearby garages fill ahead of major shows.
• Wear the right footwear. Elmwood Park Amphitheater is a sloped outdoor bowl with grass lawn areas and inclines, so flat, comfortable shoes are recommended.
• Dress in layers. The venue is fully open-air, so plan for heat, sun, summer storms, and cooler evening temperatures.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown traffic, garage demand, and post-work arrival patterns can add time before popular shows.
• Know your gate and seating area. Knowing whether you are headed for the GA lawn or reserved seating before you arrive helps streamline entry at busier events.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
