Koka Booth Amphitheatre – Cary, NC

Koka Booth Amphitheatre -Another great reason to call Cary North Carolina home.

From Abba to Alan Jackson to Beer, Bourbon and BBQ, the Koka Booth Amphitheatre, located in the Regency Park area of Cary, hosts a variety of artists and festivals sure to appeal to and appease everyone. Nestled among fourteen acres of hardwoods, the Koka Booth Amphitheatre  sits along the north bank of Symphony Lake. The Amphitheatre stands as if a warehouse has been stripped of its rugged, excluding walls to now exposed spindles spaced about, holding a web of framed steel and transparent glass as its inviting shelter for entertainment. Patrons can either sit on the well-manicured, verdant lawn or seating is available on the charming crescent shaped deck.

The Koka Booth Amphitheatre was constructed in 2001 under the eccentric design prowess of William Rawn Associates of Boston. SMG, a privately held facility management company located in Pennsylvania, serves as the facilitator managing the Amphitheatre for the Town of Cary’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department. Originally the amphitheatre was known under the title The Amphitheatre at Regency Park but was later renamed The Koka Booth Amphitheatre in honor of former Cary Mayor Koka Booth.
