Greenfield Lake Amphitheater

Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is an open-air amphitheater in Wilmington, set among tall cypress and pine trees beside Greenfield Lake. Its compact layout and capacity of approximately 1,400 visitors create a more intimate concert atmosphere than a large urban arena, while the covered stage and semi-circular audience arrangement make the natural surroundings an important part of the event experience.

The seating area is designed to keep much of the audience relatively close to the stage, giving performances a direct atmosphere and good viewing conditions for live music. The amphitheater provides food and beverage facilities, restrooms and accessible areas for guests with reduced mobility, while its open-air design means that weather conditions remain part of the overall visitor experience.

The venue is located at 1941 Amphitheater Dr, Wilmington, North Carolina 28401, United States. Visitors arriving by car commonly use parking along Lakeshore Drive, including grassy parking areas between North Carolina Avenue and Honeysuckle Drive, followed by a short walk to the entrance.
