About Kahuna Summer Stage

Welcome to Kahuna Summer Stage, the riverfront venue in Wilmington, DE where indoor arena-style events meet a vibrant outdoor deck. Located at 500 South Madison Street, this site sits along the scenic Wilmington Riverfront, offering a mix of immersive indoor performances and expansive outdoor experiences. While the original Kahuna/Kahunaville complex has transformed over the years, the area remains a hub for live entertainment, community events, and continued redevelopment. Here’s what you need to know to plan your visit, secure your seats, and make the most of your experience on the riverfront.

Venue overview: The space historically featured an indoor stage with a capacity near 1,400 and a large outdoor deck capable of hosting thousands, creating a dynamic setting for concerts and events. Today, the riverfront continues to attract touring acts and local happenings, with nearby facilities and amenities to support a full night out.

Getting to the Kahuna Summer Stage area is easy via multiple transportation options. The Wilmington Riverfront provides city parking facilities and is served by DART First State bus routes, including the convenient route 25. Amtrak access is nearby, with walking routes to the riverfront from stations and hotels. After the show, explore nearby hotels and dining options to complete your evening.

Nearby hotels offer comfortable stays within a short ride or walk from the riverfront. Options include Hyatt Place Wilmington Riverfront, Sheraton Suites Wilmington Riverfront, and The Westin Wilmington, each providing easy access to riverfront attractions and dining. For a full night out, we recommend pairing your visit with local restaurants and cafés that partner with our network for exclusive offers and convenient reservations.
