The Great Lawn & Amphitheater at The Ranch

The Region's Next Destination for Live Events and Community Life

The Great Lawn & Amphitheater will be a signature destination at The Ranch. This 20-acre outdoor venue is designed to bring people together for concerts, festivals, performances, and community celebrations of all kinds.

This vibrant, flexible space is designed to host everything from large-scale concerts and regional festivals to community movie nights, culinary events, and casual family gatherings. Imagine grabbing a blanket and watching a live performance under the stars, enjoying local food trucks during a summer festival, or cheering on young performers at a weekend showcase.

Built with flexibility in mind, the space will welcome families, artists, students, and visitors from across the region. It will support large-scale events and everyday moments, all while helping generate revenue that supports public access and long-term sustainability.

This project is more than an upgrade. It is a bold step forward in creating a vibrant, connected, and future-ready Ranch.
