The Lincoln Amphitheatre is kicking off its 38th season with expanded seating and additional upgrades as its renovation project is now complete. After three years of construction, these upgrades will enhance the overall patron experience and provide more opportunities for visitors from across the region and beyond to attend events at the popular state-owned and operated facility.
The historic and beloved outdoor performance venue is located within Lincoln State Park in Lincoln City and has undergone a significant transformation, expanding its seating capacity from 1,500 to 2,200.
This multi-phase and multi-year renovation project has been led by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in partnership with the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC).
Key components of the four-phase expansion and renovation project include:
Phase 1 (2023)
