Opened on May 10, 2008 with a concert by the Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, who regularly hold themed performances at the venue, Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park is located in the northern Atlanta suburb of Alpharetta, Georgia. The venue is owned by Woodruff Arts Center, which is one of the largest arts centers in the world, and the largest arts educator in Georgia.
Distinguished by its unusual fan-shaped roof, which consists of a translucent cloth-like material, draped over a steel-framed structural system, the amphitheatre is perfect for feeling close to nature, whilst being protected from the elements, and rocking out to your favorite band! The grounds boast large heritage trees, plants and flowers that are native to the area, creating a breathtaking environment for concerts.
