The City of Sunrise is inviting the community to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Sunrise Amphitheater, South Florida’s premier outdoor concert venue, on Saturday, October 4, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 10770 West Oakland Park Boulevard. Admission and parking are free, including in the City’s new adjacent parking garage.
The festivities will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 6 p.m., followed by live music, food, family-friendly activities, and giveaways. The Gypsy Lane Band will perform on stage, while attendees can dance under the stars, take photos at a roaming photo booth, and enjoy free popcorn, snow cones, and a lawn blanket giveaway for the first 700 guests. Food trucks offering diverse cuisines will also be on site. The evening will conclude with a spectacular City-themed drone show above the amphitheater.
“The community is excited to celebrate the return of this reimagined open-air venue as we usher in a new era of live entertainment in Sunrise,” said Mayor Michael J. Ryan. “The Sunrise Amphitheater is more than just a concert venue—it’s a remarkable gathering place where neighbors and visitors can connect, share experiences, and create lasting memories.”
The newly renovated amphitheater, part of a broader municipal campus upgrade, now features:
-
Expanded capacity: Five-tier circular seating and an enlarged great lawn accommodating up to 2,500 guests.
-
Enhanced stage and production: LED theatrical lighting and ceiling-mounted speakers for clear, balanced sound.
-
New amenities: Additional restrooms and a green room for faster setup and shorter intermissions.
-
Improved accessibility: ADA-compliant parking, elevators, covered walkways connecting the campus, and a paved pedestrian plaza.
-
Efficiency and sustainability: Energy-conscious LED lighting and water-conscious landscaping.
The project was completed by Stiles Construction, designed by Song + Associates, with engineering and landscaping support from Kimley-Horn and Associates, under the direction of the City of Sunrise Capital Projects team.
The Sunrise Amphitheater continues the City’s tradition of providing vibrant spaces for musical, cultural, and theatrical events, including the popular Tunes ‘N Trucks concert series and other community festivals.
