Renovated in 2008, the Veterans Memorial Park Amphitheater hosts over 10,000 visitors every year during the summer concert series.

You can even plan a whole day of it by visiting downtown for lunch, shopping, and dinner. Don’t forget to take a nice long stroll down the Napa River Walk after the show too for the perfect night cap.

Start the night off with champagne on the terrace and end the evening dancing to live music under a tent out in the vineyard.

This is a 21 or older event.
