Garden Amp

Venue Profile

Garden Grove, CA · Outdoor · Updated September 2026

Garden Amp is an open-air amphitheater on Main Street in Garden Grove, next to Village Green Park and a block from the city’s historic Main Street shops. It describes itself as the only independent outdoor venue in Orange County.

The amphitheater has 496 fixed seats plus standing room, and every show is sold as general admission, so a seat is not guaranteed. The calendar leans toward ska, punk and hip-hop with indie rock, Latin music and tribute nights mixed in. Black Flag, Warren G, GZA, The Bronx and Reel Big Fish are among recent and upcoming names.

Shows are all ages, with full bars for guests 21 and over and food for sale on site. Outside food and drinks are not allowed. Small bags are fine, phone photos are welcome, and free street parking surrounds the venue. ADA seating is available through door staff.
