LYNCHBURG, Va. – Update:
Lynchburg is celebrating a new space designed to bring the community together.
The city is marking the grand opening of the new Lynchburg amphitheater at Riverfront Park. The venue is designed for live music, entertainment and community events.
The project is part of a larger effort to transform Riverfront Park into a more modern, multi-use destination.
“The idea of bringing people together in one spot — whether it’s for concerts, the playground or other events — that’s really what we’re hoping will help tie the community together,” said Clay Simmons with Lynchburg Public Works.
City officials say the amphitheater reflects a shared investment in downtown Lynchburg and expanding access to arts and entertainment.
