Quarry Amphitheater

The Quarry Amphitheater (QA) at UCSC is part of an exclusive family of concert venues that exist throughout the United States. It shares this designation with destination venues like Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, Sigmund Recreation Grove in San Francisco and the Gorge Amphitheater in Washington. Its unique asymmetrical design nestled in a redwood landscape makes for a setting that is best appreciated in person. The venue seating capacity is just under 3,000 audience members, placing the QA as the largest outdoor venue in Santa Cruz and Monterey County with fixed staging and seating. The QA is an exceptional outdoor facility positioned to become the region’s most influential venue.
