Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre: Information

Stroll past a historic tailing wheel, cross the bridge, and adjacent to a one-room 19th century church, you'll discover our amphitheatre nestled among the oaks.

Situated on the historic Kennedy Mine property, a performance at our picturesque amphitheatre is truly an experience for the senses.

The performance begins at 8pm. The evening is better enjoyed with friends! Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more on Friday evenings. Contact our Box Office for details. Tickets: $16 (General Admission); $12 (Students 18 and Under).

Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre Directions

The Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre is located in Jackson. Although it is situated on Kennedy Mine property (entrance to the mine is on State Route 49), access to the amphitheatre is from N. Main Street. Our gravel parking lot is next to the Country Squire Motel at 1105 N. Main Street. A short walk from the parking lot will take you past a picturesque "tailing wheel" and over a bridge before reaching the amphitheatre itself. Please see specific driving directions below the map.

From Sacramento
Take the Jackson Highway (State Route 16) east through Rancho Murieta to the junction with State Route 49. Turn right (south) onto State Route 49, toward Jackson. Please note - the Highway 49 Bypass is now open! Many maps are still out of date. If you are traveling from Placerville or Sacramento, once you pass Drytown, you will have the option of continuing along the Bypass, or making a left onto old Highway 49. If you take the old highway, you will pass through Amador City and downtown Sutter Creek. If you take the Bypass, you will skip these little towns, but you will still end up in the same place... Just past the outskirts of Sutter Creek is the intersection of Highway 49 and Ridge Road; continue straight through the intersection for about 8/10ths mile until you reach the stop sign and flashing red light at Jackson Gate Road. Turn left onto Jackson Gate Road and drive about 2 miles until you reach the gravel parking lot on the right side, just before the Country Squire Motel at 1105 N. Main Street.

From El Dorado County
From the El Dorado Hills area, take Latrobe Road south to State Route 16 (Jackson Highway). Turn left onto State Route 16 and head east for about 4 miles. At the junction of State Routes 16 and 49, turn right (south) onto 49, toward Jackson. Please note - the Highway 49 Bypass is now open! Many maps are still out of date.
