Concerts in Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre

Experience Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre

Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre, nestled into the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a unique outdoor concert venue organically integrated within the 55-acre Red Butte Garden, a Utah State University Botanical Garden. Established in 1995, the amphitheater was designed to minimize environmental impact and maximize natural acoustics. Its terraced lawn seating, built into a natural hollow, accommodates approximately 3,100 guests.

The venue primarily hosts nationally touring artists across genres like pop, rock, country, indie, and classical music. It's become a cornerstone of Salt Lake City’s summer concert season and frequently features performances by Utah Symphony’s summer series. Beyond concerts, Red Butte also hosts events like movie nights and family programs.

What sets it apart is its stunning setting – attendees enjoy performances *within* a botanical garden. Pre-show strolling through themed gardens is common. Amenities include accessible seating options, on-site parking (often requiring shuttle access), and food/beverage vendors. The amphitheater significantly contributes to the Garden’s educational mission by providing revenue for conservation and research efforts.
