KBA 20th SEASON // Celebrating 20 seasons with the best fans in the world has been an honor and a privilege. Here's to 20 more years and a million more memories. #KBA20thAnniversary
KBA 20th SEASON: A LOOK BACK // More than 2,000,000 guests have passed through the gates to enjoy a variety of entertainment and culture since that very first day. Koka Booth Amphitheatre boasts capacity for 7,000 people so guests can enjoy a seat on our spacious lawn or specially designed Crescent deck. Hosting over 90 events between March – January, the venue offers something for everyone – National Touring Artists, Food & Beverage Festivals, Movie Nights benefiting the WakeMed Children’s Hospital, the always popular NC Chinese Lantern Festival, Diwali Celebration, Triangle Asia Fest and more! We look forward to the day when the gates are open again to welcome guests for world-class entertainment. #KBA20thAnniversary
KBA 20th SEASON: A LOOK BACK // Built in 2001, located among 14 acres of stately hardwoods and pines and beautifully situated next to Symphony Lake, the Amphitheatre blends harmoniously in the natural setting. At a cost of $12.5 million, the Amphitheatre has won numerous architectural awards. It was important to all involved that the structure be aesthetically and acoustically pleasing. Fun fact: the original design took its cue from the “pine grove” feeling such that it did not include a lawn but instead had pine trees scattered between the Crescent and the Performance Pavilion. During the course of construction, it became apparent an open lawn bordered by pines would provide an optimal audience experience while still respecting the original feeling of performing among the pines. #KBA20thAnniversary
KBA 20th SEASON: A LOOK BACK // Did you know that the Amphitheatre was previously named 'The Amphitheatre at Regency Park' before the town’s decision to name it after the former Cary Mayor, Koka Booth? Koka Booth was the Mayor of Cary from 1987 - 1999. His contributions to the town and his vision for the Amphitheatre were just a few of the reasons Koka was honored with the venue title in 2006. A beloved venue named for a beloved man. The Booth family continues to enjoy concerts and celebrations held at the venue. #KBA20thAnniversary
KBA 20th SEASON: A LOOK BACK // The North Carolina Symphony began performing (under a tent) onsite in the mid 1980’s, thanks to Symphony Board member and prominent Cary developer Ed Woolner, who had spearheaded the Regency Park development. By the early 1990’s Summerfest had become a popular event for Cary citizens and beyond. Mr. Woolner had a strong relationship with Cary Mayor Koka Booth and conversations began to develop a more permanent facility. The Symphony committed to naming Cary its “summer home” and the Town agreed to fund the permanent facility. The conception was born and the facility was ready to be brought to life in 2001. #KBA20thAnniversary

#FRONTLINEFRIDAY // Mary Arthur is our sixth and final Frontline Friday spotlight. Mary is Director of The Glade Adult Day Center at Glenaire. Mary's nominator has a mother in a skilled nursing unit at Glenaire and hasn't been able to visit her since March 11th. The adult day center has been closed since then, so non-nursing staff has stepped in to be family advocates for nursing residents since families can't visit. "Mary has been facilitating FaceTime calls and window visits several times a week, checking my Mom's room for mail and opening/reading to her, watering her plants, and just keeping an eye out for her. She's been doing all the things I would be doing if I could. It means so much to know she's there to help as the nursing staff is busier now with all the necessary safety precautions in place. Mary is such a kind-hearted and generous person who is doing all she can to ease the stress for families dealing with not being able to be with beloved family members for an extended period. She is very much appreciated." Way to go Mary! To thank Mary, Koka Booth Amphitheatre is going to treat her to a @thelumpysicecream gift card to enjoy with her family.
Summer sun , top down, open road ahead of you. What’s the perfect song on the radio?
Rebelution at Koka Booth Amphitheatre Cary has been rescheduled to 9/30/2021. Your ticket will be honored for the rescheduled date. If you can’t make it, you’ll be able to request a refund. We will email ticket holders directly with details.
Happy Fathers Day from all of us at Koka Booth Amphitheatre!

Lorrie and her family continue to give it their all during the pandemic and we are so grateful for them! When our programming resumes, we’d like to treat Lorrie and her family to 4 tickets to the NC Chinese Lantern Festival!
