Concerts/Events at the Wharf

For the biggest entertainment on the coast, look no further than The Amphitheater at The Wharf, with big acts, big sound and a big experience. This 10,000-seat, tiered venue is located at the heart of The Wharf and ensures that each guest has a great view. To make this experience bigger yet, two giant screens flank the stage so that everyone has a front-row view. Surrounded by giant pines and wetlands, The Amphitheater’s background is the even bigger, natural beauty of the Gulf Coast
