About Hunter Amphitheater
Hunter Amphitheater refers to two family-friendly, outdoor venues known for lawn seating and scenic waterfront or park settings. In Pensacola, the Randall K. and Martha A. Hunter Amphitheater sits at Community Maritime Park, offering grass seating with up to 5,000 guests. In New Smyrna Beach, the Hunter Amphitheater at the Marine Discovery Center provides a waterside lawn space with open seating and parking for up to 300 vehicles. Both venues host a range of concerts, films, and events—from symphony evenings to festival weekends—set against a distinct coastal backdrop.
Whether you’re planning a summer night under the stars in Pensacola or a breezy afternoon in NSB, we’ve got you covered with seating guidance, parking tips, transit options, and nearby hotel and dining picks to streamline your visit.
Ticket buyers can secure seats with ease, but keep in mind seating formats differ by location: Pensacola’s grass general admission vs. NSB’s lawn space where guests bring their own chairs or blankets. For transit, ECAT and Nav/ride options in Pensacola, plus Volusia County VOTRAN and VoRide in NSB, help you get to the shows without hassle. When you’re ready to plan, check our affiliate hotel partners for convenient stays near each amphitheater and explore nearby dining to fuel your night. And remember, events may be listed as RESCHEDULED or Date to be announced when applicable. We’ve got you as a reliable connection to the best local concerts at Hunter Amphitheater.
