Preserving a Landmark. Building for the Future.
For decades, the Bruns Amphitheater has been a beloved East Bay cultural destination. Since taking stewardship of the property, Siesta Valley Foundation has been restoring and improving this remarkable venue, preparing it for a new generation of performances, educational programs, and community gatherings.
A new truss system and production improvements have transformed the amphitheater into a versatile venue for live music, theater, dance, and community events.
Repairs and repainting throughout the theater have restored the beauty and functionality of this historic outdoor performance space.
Improvements to lighting, safety systems, utilities, and visitor amenities have created a more welcoming environment throughout the property.
New pathways, concrete surfaces, and railings are making the property easier to navigate and more welcoming to all visitors.
Our next phase of renewal includes permanent sound and lighting systems, improvements to amphitheater seating and terraces, and a reimagined North Star Commons.
