About
Oregon's largest outdoor venue
The Hayden Homes Amphitheater is an independent, outdoor riverfront venue built in the historic Old Mill District in 2001. Nestled along the Deschutes River, there might not be a better spot in the Pacific Northwest to catch a show.
Since our first season, we have hosted more than a million guests at Bend concerts, craft beer festivals, graduations, races, and more. The Hayden Homes Amphitheater has become a destination for musicians and fans alike for its stunning natural beauty and intimate location right in the heart of Bend. Guests can walk or bike right to the venue from almost anywhere in town and are treated to shows highlighted by the gorgeous backdrop of the Cascade Mountains.
Named one of “America’s coolest venues” by Travel + Leisure, the amphitheater regularly draws music’s biggest acts, including Kenny Chesney, Dave Matthews Band, The Chicks, Bob Dylan, ODESZA, John Legend, Phish, Jack Johnson, Brandi Carlile, and more. The summer concert lineup usually starts over Memorial Day Weekend and continues into the first week of October.
The amphitheater, which hosted more than 50 shows in 2024, holds up to 8,000 concertgoers. There’s not a bad seat in the house within the HHA’s intimate riverfront venue. With free parking, a stellar lineup of Central Oregon’s top food carts, and some of Bend’s best craft beer, cocktails and wine on hand, a date at the amphitheater feels like a concert in the park with a few thousand of your best friends.
