The Richmond Riverfront Amphitheater is a transformative project along the James River that is a premier outdoor venue for concerts, festivals, and community gatherings. With seating for 7,500, the amphitheater bolsters Richmond’s cultural landscape and expands its role as a regional destination for live entertainment. Design refinements and the complex logistics of the 8-acre site have required close coordination across all project partners. Despite these challenges, the team remained focused on delivering a space that not only meets the owner’s ambitious timeline but also fosters a sense of connection and community.
