Amphitheater Renewal Funding

Preserve an East Bay cultural landmark for its next chapter.

The historic amphitheater is the heart of Siesta Valley. Renewing it means preserving a place where generations have gathered while preparing it for performances, student learning, and community life for years to come.

We are seeking support for permanent sound and lighting, a renewed North Star Community Center, and improvements to the amphitheater’s terraces and seating. These investments will strengthen the shared facilities that make arts, education, and public gatherings possible.
