Nice amphitheater. Close handicap parking. Right near the highway. Would recommend.

It's no Red Rocks, but it's a VERY cool venue!! Can't wait for Boz and then Bonnie! Seriously, CR should be proud of this. Your tax money paid for most of it. The McGrath amphitheater needs another set of bathrooms!! Big time.

This is a beautiful venue right on the river. We have been to two evening concerts this summer. The sunsets are gorgeous and beautiful breezes. The sound and lights are great and the workers have been very friendly and helpful. I rated this only three stars because you cannot bring food into the venue and there are not ample food trucks to accommodate all the people. They advertise food trucks, but there was only one taco truck and Kona Ice. We love Kona Ice but that does not count as food! We stood in line for over 40 minutes to get food. When a show is general admission, there is definitely not enough workers/security checking in people. Thankfully, we knew about the entrance near the restrooms and the parking garage. Otherwise, we would have been stuck in a terrible line that wrapped all the way down onto the bridge. People waiting in that line did not get into the event until 30 minutes after the band started playing. I know because I watched them while standing in line for food! So next time, I would skip the food truck and pick one of the area restaurants nearby before the show. McGrath needs to either allow food inside or provide more food trucks to accommodate large crowds.

As far as i know the temptations is still on, just not at the amphitheatre anymore due to the flood situation. They are trying to find a new place to do it.
