Newberry officials break ground on future amphitheater

NEWBERRY, S.C. (WOLO)– Thursday morning, November 12, city and county officials in Newberry broke ground on a future amphitheater and pavilion located on Caldwell Street.

Leaders say the $4.8 million project is funded mostly with the city’s penny sales tax.

The amphitheater is expected to hold around 193 people while the pavilion will accommodate up to 740 guests.

The spaces will be used for concerts, festivals, and community events.

General Contractor MB Kahn Construction estimates the project will be completed in July of 2027.
