Fort Harrod Amphitheater

The Fort Harrod Amphitheater is a signature outdoor venue within Old Fort Harrod State Park, offering visitors a unique blend of entertainment, history, and natural beauty. Located near the park’s picnic grounds and shaded by mature trees, the amphitheater provides an inviting open‑air setting for performances, community gatherings, and special events. The space is available for rental and includes seating options, making it a flexible choice for ceremonies and local programs.

Best known as the home of the acclaimed outdoor drama James Harrod: The Battle for Kentucky, the amphitheater becomes a living stage each summer as actors bring to life the story of Harrodsburg’s founding and its frontier legends. This long‑running production offers audiences a historically grounded and engaging look at Kentucky’s earliest days, all in the very place where the events unfolded. 

Whether hosting theatrical performances, concerts, festivals, or community celebrations, the Fort Harrod Amphitheater stands as a vibrant cultural hub—where history, storytelling, and shared experiences come together under the Kentucky sky.
