This amphitheater is tucked into a nice neighborhood but is spacious, clean and welcoming. The sound system and acoustics are very good with only one brief feedback instance. They get quality acts here. The drive here from Laguna Beach was three hours on a Friday evening on a jammed freeway. Come early , hang out, there are good places to eat near by. Try the Thai place a block or two away. There is some meager food and drink offerings at the venue but I passed on the Costco hot dogs and had popcorn and bottled water. They don't overcharge for the food and drink items so that

We’ve lived in the area for so long and finally attended a music event here. Although we got there after starting time, we were still able to enjoy the music while sitting on the grass. I can imagine people arrive very early to find a sitting spot on the benches, or in the grass, where you can still get a good view of the stage. Hoping to come again soon.

The Redlands Bowl is arguably the cultural heart of Redlands. I had my Redlands High School graduation there as did my father, mother, and brother. I attended many summer festival community sings, performances, and picnics. This wonderful venue houses thousands upon thousands every year brining our community close together. May it ever continue to be the heart of Redlands. God bless Redlands.

Great venue! How lovely to have this community space to enjoy summer concerts and such. I was visiting family and we brought ourselves and our assortment of picnic goodies to the opening night of the summer 2019 season. My fam prefers to sit in the benches which have backs. This was fine. For picnicking, I would likely choose to pack a blanket and some chairs and just sit farther back on the grass. If "seeing" isn't as important as listening, this would be a good option and make it easier to enjoy eating. But for those not packing food, the benches are comfortable enough for a two

An awesome outdoor venue in the heart of Redlands. Come here during the summer to enjoy free music and the warm Southern California weather, when the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival is in full swing.
Since the Bowl is located in a residential neighborhood, most people park across the street and walk a block or two to the venue. We had no problem getting here, but it's something to consider if you or your party have mobility issues.
Once at the Bowl, there's plenty of bench seating and areas where you can spread a picnic blanket and relax. The sound is good and the sight lines

Nice older, smaller neighborhood concert & event venue. The summer concert festival series is the oldest, continuous free concert series in the United States... 95 years. Excellent talent on stage.
Only cons are the lack of parking, it is a small park in older residential neighborhood (there is some accessible parking across the street behind the Lincoln Memorial Shrine Museum). Accessibility isn't bad, but not up to current standards.
Enjoyable venue. Nice small town feel, with big city quality talent.

This review is for the Redlands Bowl Summer Music Festival featuring Jarabe Mexicano and the Ballet Folklorico of Los Angeles. What a wonderful evening! After a quick Lyft ride (to avoid the inconvenience of parking and so we could enjoy the adult beverages in our cooler), we found a nice spot on the benches. We had time to enjoy our picnic dinner before the festivities started. The band was awesome, performing well-loved songs. The crowd was awesome too, singing along and dancing right in front of the band! We thought there'd be more of the folklorico dancing. I think they performed 3 times

For the first time ever, we were extremely disappointed. The play, Oklahoma, although done very well by the performers, is a piece of junk. We sat through the entire dress rehearsal just to make sure we weren't seeing and hearing what we were seeing and hearing, and the play itself was very disappointing. Again the performers did an excellent job with what they had to work with.
Let's go back to The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins for entertainment.

A true Redlands staple and a central part of what makes Redlands Redlands. As a graduate of Redlands Sr. High School, this was were my graduation was held, so it has fond memories in my mind.
Apart from that, my favorite thing about the bowl is the Summer Concert Series that they hold here on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8:15pm. I usually grab food from somewhere and bring it over and enjoy my food while listening/ watching some great entertainment. Also people usually leave during intermission so you can move and find better seats later if you end up on the back like I usually do. Also, people usually

Love the Redlands Bowl. I am so very glad that Redlands has been able to sustain such culture and charm for so long. I remember running around in the summer as a child, waiting for a show to begin. Tonight I took my 4 year old son to see Mary Poppins put on by Mr. Wayne Scott. What a wonderful, magical performance. Jonathan Briggs was sheer perfection as Bert. Mary Poppins was certainly "perfect in every way". Their rendition of Supercalafragalisticexpialidocious was a show stopper. Absolutely wonderful. So thankful I was able to carry on the Redlands Bowl tradition with my son. THANK

Redlands is an amazing city and nothing tells more of Redlands culture than the Redlands Bowl.
With a plethora of of events from concerts to famous live theatre the bowl is an amazing summertime activity! There is a lot of seating but it fills up quick and you could always sit on the grass.
Its really great for everyone, you can even bring your kids!

Another great time at Redlands Bowl. Came tonight for the Grand Opening of the Summer Concert Series. I have been living in Redlands for years and never been, what gives? Concert began at 8:15, we arrived at 7:30 and got pretty good seats. Granted your view is only as good as the person in front of you.
Tonight (6/22/12) the San Bernardino Symphony performed with Maestro Frank Fetta, guest Pianist Yanna Reznick (sp) and Tenor Haqumai Sharpe. The audience was treated to a night dedicated to American Music such as: Olympic Fanfare, Fiddle-Faddle and Buglers Holiday by Leroy Anderson, Rhapsody

I whole heartily agree with the first reviewer !! The Redlands Bowl is the shiznit. All performances are 100% FREE and of top quality. The only time you might have to cough up some dough is when volunteers or the performers themselves come around during intermission to collect donations. I always make sure to have at least $5 to give since the Bowl's budget comes from these donations. The seating is ample (bench seats or grass) and the acoustics are spectacular. Now if plays aren't your thing dance groups, string groups and big bands perform here as well. My gf and I have recently seen
