Jones Beach Theater is one of the most iconic outdoor amphitheaters in the New York City area, set directly on the Atlantic coastline within Jones Beach State Park. Designed by legendary urban planner Robert Moses and opened in 1952, the venue has grown from its original 8,200-seat footprint into a 15,000-capacity destination following major renovations and expansions in 1992 and 1998.
The open-air amphitheater pairs soaring ocean views with state-of-the-art lighting and sound, making it one of the region's premier stages for both world-class concerts and large-scale private events. Beyond the main bowl, the venue offers a spacious lawn, intimate VIP club spaces, and The Cove — a dedicated area for pre-show or in-show hospitality.
From corporate conferences and company picnics to graduations, fundraisers, and full-venue buyouts, Jones Beach Theater's combination of scale, setting, and full-service production support make it one of Long Island's most memorable event destinations — just 41 miles from Manhattan.
