About The Amp

The St. Augustine Amphitheatre was built in 1965, commemorating St. Augustine's 400th anniversary. It was acquired by St. Johns County in 2002 and underwent an extensive renovation soon after, adding a canopy over the main stage and seating areas, to provide protection from rain. In 2019, The Amp took on its new name, along with the motto "Big Acts, Small Venue," which sums up what the community and the concert industry love about the venue.

Saturday Farmers Market

Each Saturday, The Amp hosts a Farmers Market where vendors and artists showcase local food, arts, and crafts. Locally grown vegetables, organic food, fruits, artisan breads, pastries, flowers and plants, herbs, roasted peanuts, bonsai, and even the famous datil sauces the area is known for can be found every weekend. The farmers market is open rain or shine on Saturday at The Amp from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

The Amp hosts a Night Market on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m., featuring live entertainment, activities, and approximately 90 vendors displaying handmade arts and crafts and other goods.

Tickets

Tickets for most events are sold online with Ticketmaster; however, other retailers may sell tickets depending on the performer and show's promoter.
