Hi everyone, we've been quite busy fixing up the amphitheater. We're going to need your help in order to open again and bring the performing arts back to Siesta Valley! We need to raise $500K in the next 90 days in order to open the theater for the 2026 season. Please donate generously at siestavalley.org/donate or reach out to [email protected].

Meanwhile, we wanted to point out a few resources:

Bruns Amphitheater, off of Highway 24 in Orinda, will reopen as the Siesta Valley Bowl in April 2026. The plan is for 40-60 concerts to be held at the amphitheater each year, as well as theater performances like it previously hosted.

Renovations that include doubling the amphitheater's capacity are expected within the next few years.
