What to expect from an event at First Security Amphitheater

First Security is an outside venue, meaning guests can expect a festival-like atmosphere, whatever the weather. Who wouldn’t want to dance the night away underneath a clear Arkansas sky while sipping deliciously boozy cocktails with friends?

Vibes aside, amphitheaters have a unique design that amplifies sound quality. The unique curved shape acts as a natural echo chamber, directing sound inwards towards the audience. On top of this, terraced seating and elevated sightlines allow for unobstructed views of the main stage.

As mentioned, First Security is especially famous for its folk, country, and rock performances. Many artists have made a name for themselves in Bear State, including Johnny Cash, Amy Lee, and Three Dog Night. If you’re in the area, keep an eye on the upcoming events – the theater often propels the hottest regional talent onto the international stage.

Looking for a family-friendly show? Book tickets for POPS! on the River – an annual July 4th celebration. The evening concert celebrates the nation’s independence with patriotic music, mouth-watering food, and sensational fireworks displays. Contact the River Market office for more information.
