Kingswood Music Theatre is a 15,000 seat amphitheatre, at Canada's Wonderland, in Vaughan, Ontario. Kingswood is open from May to September.[1] Opened in 1983, Kingswood hosted many "big-name" concerts.
Kingswood has an open-air theater, with a covered bandshell and exposed lawn seats for the audience.[1]
On August 18, 1986, there was a reunion of the Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia, filmed at Kingswood by the CBC, with guests Gordon Lightfoot, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris and Murray McLaughlan.
After the Molson Amphitheatre opened, on the grounds of Ontario Place, in 1995 and Air Canada Centre in 1999, the use of Kingswood as a music venue declined. Cultural festivals at the theatre became more prominent. There was once a box office at the gates of Wonderland, but because of the decline of the theatre as a music venue, it was removed.
