Venue Overview

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is located on Anastasia Island, across the bridge from downtown St. Augustine and just 0.5 miles from the beach. Embraced by the natural landscape of Anastasia State Park, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre provides a beautiful setting for an incredible concert experience.

Named Billboard Magazine’s “Top East Coast Amphitheater” in 2026, The St. Augustine Amphitheatre hosts more than 70 performances each year, welcoming music legends and rising stars across all genres, while also serving as a gathering place for a variety of community events. With just under 5,000 seats, the venue offers an intimate setting where, we’ve been told, there’s no bad seat in the house.

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre is managed and operated by SJC Cultural Events, Inc. (SJCCE), a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to enriching St. Johns County and engaging music enthusiasts worldwide through authentic cultural programming. Guided by the principle of being “Community Owned, Community Operated, Community Led,” SJCCE passionately promotes performances by internationally acclaimed artists and hosts educational and community-tailored events aimed at fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts. SJCCE also manages and operates Ponte Vedra Concert Hall, Sing Out Loud Festival and Fort Mose Jazz & Blues Series.

The Backyard Stage

The Backyard Stage is a secondary performance space that gives fans an up close and personal concert experience. Backyard shows are general admission, standing room only, and always a good time! 

The Backyard Stage is accessed by entering The St. Augustine Amphitheatre and heading around back of the main stage. On-site parking is available in the main parking lot. Concessions are available during shows with full bar and various local food trucks.

In 2018, with the assistance of the Friends of the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, the Backyard Stage received a new roof and stage improvements, further enhancing this unique performance space.

The Front Porch

The Front Porch is the perfect gathering spot. This 4,800 square foot deck features an area for artists to play and the community to gather during our Farmers Market and Night Market or to just hangout before a show.

The Front Porch is located at the entrance of the venue, to the right of the Box Office. Unveiled in 2017, The Front Porch was made possible through the generous support of Canan Law.
