City of Carson Celebrates the Grand Opening of its New State-of-the-Art Amphitheater: A New Hub for Community Connection and Celebration
The amphitheater will be a central gathering space for Carson residents, hosting various performances, cultural events, and celebrations that reflect the community’s diversity and vibrancy.
City of Carson Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes joined fellow councilmembers and other dignitaries as they cut the ceremonial red ribbon marking the grand opening of the City’s new amphitheater on October 23, 2025. The new venue will serve as a cornerstone for entertainment and community gatherings in Carson, offering a public space where residents can connect, celebrate, and experience the arts in a state-of-the-art environment.
This facility will bring large and medium-sized events to the heart of the community. Construction on the new amphitheater began on October 21, 2024. It was completed in Fall 2025, marking a significant step forward in the City’s commitment to providing high-quality public spaces that enrich the lives of all residents.
Today’s grand opening of our new amphitheater is more than a ribbon-cutting—it’s a promise kept to the people of Carson,” said Mayor Davis-Holmes. ”This modern venue will bring world-class performances, community celebrations, and cultural traditions into the heart of our city. We built this space to be welcoming, accessible, and reflective of Carson’s spirit—where families gather, young people find inspiration, and our local economy thrives.”
This $10 million-plus project, funded by the City’s General Fund, includes several significant improvements designed to create a beautiful, functional, and flexible space for community events. These upgrades include a new stage, a pergola for both aesthetic and practical value, a large and medium-sized event area, and a shade sail for the preschool area to ensure comfort for younger residents. The facility also features open parking to accommodate event-goers and enhance accessibility.
“The amphitheater will be a central gathering space for Carson residents, hosting various performances, cultural events, and celebrations that reflect the community’s diversity and vibrancy,” said Mayor Davis-Holmes. “The city council has emphasized its dedication to developing well-designed public spaces that enhance the quality of life, improve accessibility, and foster community connections.
