Bluestem Amphitheater, Open-air theatre in Moorhead, Minnesota.
The Bluestem Amphitheater sits along the Red River of the North with seating for 3,000 spectators positioned to face a stage set within a natural setting. The layout creates a view where the surrounding landscape frames the performance space.
The amphitheater was built in 2009 through a partnership involving the City of Moorhead, the Fargo School District, and the State of Minnesota. This collaboration between local and state institutions shaped its development from the start.
The Trollwood Performing Arts Program uses the venue to showcase regional artists and national musicians to a wide audience. Visitors can experience how local talent and well-known performers take the stage against natural surroundings.
All guests need to purchase tickets regardless of age for entry to events. Visitors should plan to bring only small bags, as larger items are not permitted, and smoking is confined to designated areas outside the venue.
A 2014 concert by the Goo Goo Dolls drew so many spectators that attendance exceeded the regular capacity for the venue. This surprisingly high turnout shows how popular the events at this location have become.
