In July 2001, local council members made it clear that the naming rights to the Amphitheatre were not for sale, signaling a commitment to preserving its identity and protecting it from corporate branding. This decision culminated in an official naming dedication on July 4th, 2004, marking a meaningful moment in the venue's history. At the dedication, Koka Booth—a key figure in the community remarked, “It was kind of a fairytale week for me” reflecting the personal and emotional significance of the event. #KBA25SEASONS

⭐On this date in 2001, Koka Booth Amphitheatre hosted its first official event! The @ncsymphony was delighted to perform in its new summer home to a packed crowd on Wednesday, June 9, 2001, featuring popular live classical favorites! The grand opening was delayed due to flooding, but the one-week wait didn’t dampen the excitement. As concertgoer, Carol Petrie said, “It’s a real community builder,” a sentiment that remains true today. You can catch the North Carolina Symphony performing Beethoven Symphony No. 5 this Friday, June 13, 2025 at 8:00pm. More at: boothamphitheatre.com #KBA25SEASONS

Have you heard? 2025 marks the 25th Anniversary Season of Koka Booth Amphitheatre! Not everything went smoothly our first year. The weather, in particular, seemed determined not to cooperate. Heavy rains accompanied by a tornado watch forced the postponement of the scheduled opening, flooding the site, and the then-unfinished basement. ⭐Today, we celebrate the official dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony that occurred on May 21, 2002, featuring legendary crooner Tony Bennett, performing alongside the North Carolina Symphony. Throughout our celebratory season, we'll be reflecting on this incredible milestone. ✨
