The Les Schwab Amphitheater is a beautiful outdoor riverfront Amphitheater built in the historic Old Mill District in 2001. The Amphitheater was named in honor of a remarkable Central Oregonian, Les Schwab. Les is a logging camp educated, ambitious natural leader. He is a competitive yet gentle man who loves to win and share the victory. The success of Central Oregon can be attributed in large part to Les' vision and generosity.
The venue will accommodate approximately 8000 patrons for concerts and other events in a casual outdoor setting. All summer long the Amphitheater will present some of the biggest names in entertainment plus free concerts by local and national performers every Sunday.
