What happens at the Wellington Amphitheater

Free concerts and tribute bands

The amphitheater is best known for its free concert series. Expect tribute bands covering everyone from ABBA and the Eagles to Billy Joel, along with local bands, school performances and holiday concerts. The stage has a professional sound and lighting system, so these shows feel much bigger than the price tag suggests.

Food truck nights

Food trucks line up along the Town Center promenade before many concerts, often a dozen or more, with everything from tacos and burgers to desserts. Grab dinner when you arrive, then stake out a spot on the lawn before the music starts.

Movie nights

Family movie nights on the lawn are a regular part of the schedule, especially in the cooler months. They are a great low-cost night out with kids. Pair one with an afternoon at Scott's Place, the barrier-free playground right next door.

Lakeside Market and seasonal festivals

The seasonal Lakeside Market sets up along the Town Center promenade, and the amphitheater hosts village celebrations through the year, including holiday events, Fourth of July festivities and community festivals. Check our Wellington events calendar for upcoming dates.

How to find the current schedule

The Village of Wellington publishes the official amphitheater calendar on wellingtonfl.gov, and performers and dates change from season to season. Before heading out, check the village calendar or call the event line at (561) 753-2484, which also announces weather cancellations. Outdoor events are sometimes moved or canceled for summer storms.

Parking at the Wellington Amphitheater

  • Parking is free in the Town Center lots around the amphitheater, the Wellington Aquatics Complex and the village municipal complex.
  • Arrive about an hour early for popular concerts. The closest spaces fill quickly.
  • Do not park in the neighboring Publix lot. Visitors report towing and ticketing there on event nights.

What to bring

  • Lawn chairs or a blanket. Seating is on the lawn, and there are no fixed seats.
  • Cash or card for food trucks. Most trucks take cards, but lines move faster when you know what you want.
  • Bug spray and a light layer. Evenings by the lake can bring mosquitoes, and winter nights can get cool.
  • Leave your dog at home for concerts. Visitors note pets are kept off the main lawn.

Make a night of it

The amphitheater sits at Wellington Town Center, beside Lake Wellington. Before a show, walk the lakeside promenade, let the kids loose at Scott's Place or cool off at the Wellington Aquatics Complex next door. For dinner beforehand, the restaurants on Forest Hill Boulevard and in the Lotis Wellington dining area are a short drive away.
