Make the most of your visit

We want your time with us to be both memorable and enjoyable. Make the most of your visit by learning these important details.

Parking

There is plenty of FREE parking at the Amphitheatre, with an upper and lower lot. Additional parking is also available at the Tempie Avery Montford Center at 34 Pearson Drive and also in the lower lots at the Asheville Chamber of Commerce, 36 Montford Ave, a few blocks away. Street parking is also available when the lots are full. Since we share the lots with the public park, it is advised that you arrive early to get a spot. Street parking is NOT allowed on the streets within the Montford Center complex, because the streets are narrow and emergency vehicles may need access.

Seating

Built into a natural hillside, the Amphitheatre can comfortably accommodate over one thousand people. There are seven level tiers and a sloping lawn above the tiers, perfect for a picnic blanket and/or setting up your portable chairs. There are no bad sightlines at the Amphitheatre, but if you prefer to rent our Adirondack chairs in prime locations for only $7, please reserve your seats above or call the box office at (828) 254-5146. Otherwise, seating is on a first come, first served basis. We ask that all of our patrons show common courtesy to those around them. There is no smoking…anything…in the seating area.
