Join us for a summer of fun on the lakeshore with shows at the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater. Our line-up features a variety of live performances—including music, movies, comedians and more! Ultimately, Summer lives here.

About the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater

The Devon G. Buffett Amphitheater is owned and operated by the Decatur Park District and was made possible by a generous donation from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. Furthermore, the venue’s name is in honor of Howard G. Buffett’s wife, Devon, and is referred to as the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater. In addition construction began in 2018, and the venue opened on May 24, 2019.

The venue sits along the shore of Lake Decatur as part of Lakeshore Landing nestled inside the Historic Nelson Park. With a capacity of over 3,000, the venue offers views of the lake from nearly every seat or viewing area. The Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater’s season usually operates May through September — offering a wide range of entertainment. Therefore, the goal is to offer something for everyone with a line-up that features music of many genres, comedians, big bands, movie nights, family themed entertainment and more.

The venue offers several viewing options for events. Firstly, the Pit area is located in front of the stage and may be standing or seated, depending on the event. Our Reserved Seating offers patrons the chance to have an assigned seat for the show. Moreover, the Terrace level features artificial turf, therefore it allows guests to bring their own chair or blanket, as no seating is provided. Finally, the Lawn offers the most spacious area to enjoy the show with great views of the stage and Lake Decatur and also allows guests to bring their own camp/lawn chair or blanket to sit on as no seating is provided in the Lawn either.

If you would like to be considered for booking, please submit an EPK to dbradshaw@decparks.com.

For the safety and security of all our visitors, we ask that you please read our policies to be as prepared as possible when coming to enjoy a show at The Devon.
