New Amphitheater To Open At Newtown Park

The amphitheater at Newtown Park will open just in time for Johns Creek's annual Summer Concert Series.


The amphitheater at Newtown Park will open to the public later this month, the same night the Johns Creek Summer Concert Series will kick off its 2014 season.

The city will hold a ribbon cutting at 7:15 p.m. Saturday, June 28, which will be followed by a free concert by the Johns Creek Symphony at 7:30 p.m. 

The new amphitheater is made of laminated pine and seats up to 440 people under its wooden structure, with hundreds more in tiered seating in the open air.

"The amphitheater is a tremendous addition to the growing cultural offerings in our City, and I am particularly thrilled that we have been able to engage our own Johns Creek Symphony Orchestra for the opening concert," said Mayor Mike Bodker. "We are all looking forward to joining the community at the grand opening and continuing the celebration throughout the summer music series."

Presented by the Johns Creek Foundation, the opening night concert will feature classical and patriotic selections. It is the first of three in the city's Summer Concert Series. The popular Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band, A1A, appears July 19 and rising country stars Shane O'Dazier Band on Aug. 23.
