Step into history at the Sunken Garden Theater, one of San Antonio’s most iconic outdoor venues! Nestled in the heart of Brackenridge Park, this stunning open-air amphitheater was built in the 1930s and has been entertaining audiences ever since. Originally a rock quarry, it was transformed into a beautiful, sunken oasis that has hosted performances under the stars for nearly a century. With its impressive stone walls, lush surroundings, and scenic views, it’s no wonder the Sunken Garden Theater has become a beloved gem in San Antonio.

Over the years, the Sunken Garden Theater has hosted unforgettable performances from the San Antonio Symphony, local theater groups, national acts, Broadway-style musicals, concerts and cultural performances. Today, the theater continues to be a lively spot for entertainment and community events. You can catch everything from live concerts and outdoor movies to theatrical performances and festivals.
