Pepsi Amphitheater: Main Stage

The Main Stage at the Pepsi Amphitheater is nestled among the tall pines in Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, AZ. This state-of-the-art facility holds up to 3,500 people and features a large grassy lawn and a seating area with over 500 built-in seats. The amphitheater’s construction was made possible by the voters of Coconino County and was funded by the Coconino Parks and Open Space Program, Arizona State Parks Heritage Fund grants and Coconino County. Pickin’ in the Pines leases Pepsi Amphitheater for the Pickin’ in the Pines Bluegrass & Acoustic Music Festival. You may be subject to search at certain events. The amphitheater management reserves the right to refuse admission. Get specific driving directions at the bottom of this page.
