From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mesker Amphitheatre is a historic 8,500-seat amphitheater located in Evansville, Indiana, United States. It contains 5,500 chairback seats and 3,000 lawn seats and is located at Mesker Park near the Mesker Park Zoo.

The amphitheater was built after the death of local philanthropist George Mesker in 1936, who left $500,000 for park improvements and an additional $250,000 to provide music and entertainment.[1]

It is co-managed with Roberts Stadium, Victory Theatre, and The Centre.
