Where The Stars Come To Play

For 25 years, Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre has been an iconic landmark, hosting over 1,300 events and welcoming 4 million visitors. Each concert, each performance, and each moment has woven a rich tapestry of community and culture that we're incredibly proud of. As we look ahead, we’re excited about new programs, enhanced facilities, and deeper connections within our beloved community.

KBA is a vibrant outdoor shed playing host to some of the biggest touring shows in the country. National acts such as Alison Krauss, Billy Strings, Chris Stapleton, Robert Plant, Sheryl Crow, Ziggy Marley, and more have performed under the stars to stellar crowds. Nestled in a grove of stately pines Koka Booth Amphitheatre is like no other venue. Owned by the Town of Cary and managed by ASM Global, the venue is located in Cary, North Carolina.

In addition to national acts, the venue is the summer home to the NC Symphony Summerfest Series. The venue serves the surrounding Triangle but attracts visitors from across the state and beyond. Hosting over sixty events between the months of April – October, Koka Booth Amphitheatre promotes a variety of events including food festivals, and large-scale community events like the Hum Sub Diwali Festival, Oktoberfest, and July 4th celebrations. The venue has received wide acclaim for the annual NC Chinese Lantern Festival which utilizes the entire grounds of the venue with amazing silk sculptures from November – January drawing more than 230,000 visitors in 2024.
