Set in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, just outside of Akron, and Cleveland. Stunning views, very secluded, and the amphitheater is just gorgeous and has won awards for it's architecture and acoustics. Nothing better than catching a DMB show there on a summer night!!!!

Amazing new amphitheater built into natural bowl-shaped hillside. Sight lines from the lawn are outstanding. Facilities are all new and untarnished. Parking/tailgating on rolling fields of grass. Perfect.

A beautiful, intimate outdoor music venue surrounded by the woods of the Fontanel property, which is situated on Barbara Mandrell's old estate... further rooting it in music history. The boxes and vip seats are cut out of the hillside... and to look out from them makes you feel as if your in a treehouse or a fort! A 'farm-to-fork' restaurant on property / family friendly atmosphere / frisbee golf / 2 miles of beautiful, free trails throughout the property. An all around gem in the south!

Wolf Trap is a national park dedicated to the performing arts. The amphitheater itself is surrounded by 130 beautiful acres.
