First time visiting. The weather was wonderful, and parking was not an issue. The food truck area was a plus with a good variety of food and prices were affordable. As this was my first time we did not bring anything to sit on and so the concrete/bricks got hard in a hurry. Bring a stadium seat as lawn/ beach chairs are not permitted. The sound system was more than adequate. The lighting was very professional and enhanced the performance. The performances were cwell done from the opening act, Congaree Bluff, to the headliner, Landslide, a Fleetwood Mac cover band. My giving only 4 stars is due the fact that the policy for smoking/vaping (Smoking Smoking, including vaping and E cigarettes, is not permitted inside the gates of the amphitheater, and within 50 feet of the entrance gates. This includes all seating areas and concourse areas.) was not adhered to by the patrons or the staff. They had a designated smoking section located near the bathrooms. I ended up moving away from the area to sit in the concourse area. Patrons walking around vaping, sitting in the sitting area were openly smoking/vaping and didn't seem the least bit concerned about those around them being bothered. One couple continually pulled out their vaping pen and their e- cigarette and causing at least 3 couples to move their seats. If you have a policy enforce it, if you don't care to enforce it then tell people before they arrive. I gave up smoking 30 years ago, and when I am exposed to it as I was Saturday night it creates a for me coughing, a headache, and I have the symptoms for a day or two afterwards. People who vape claim it does not cause harm to those getting their second hand emissions, I am proof that something...
Read moreGreat Amphitheatre that sits around 900 people. For events that have a cost, you want to buy your tickets in advance. However, there are numerous free events thanks to sponsors. Lots of handicap availability. Every seat is a good seat for viewing the performance Performance area is covered but the viewing area is open where you can enjoy the sun and breeze. Highly recommend a stadium seat. Free standing chairs are prohibited and outside food is prohibited. For many events, they have food trucks available. Lots of nearby restaurants in walking distance. If you have children or enjoy walking, fantastic park across the street with play area and small splash pad. Thanks to Lexington county for purchasing the former Icehouse property. What a major asset to Lexington county and offering a place for all to enjoy. Law enforcement complex located across the street helps add safety to the area. Come out and enjoy. I now know what a fun time I had been missing out on for years. Better late than never. Treat yourself to some fun and don't wait like I did. Great...
Read moreThis market is truly a hidden gem for the town of Lexington!!!
We've been to the Icehouse Amphitheater on Main Street in Lexington, SC on multiple occasions. For the past few weeks we've been visiting this location, because they have "The Market" every Saturday from 9am-1pm. They only do this local market from May 14th through September 24th. I have discovered some awesome local vendors that sell alot of homemade crafts.
This Amphitheater also does many free concert events on Thursdays, and it's always a great time. There is a huge separate building that has both male and female restrooms. There is a public parking lot on site, as well as nearby street parking. Even when they've had large entertainment events, we've never had any issues with parking.
I would highly recommend this local market and outdoor Amphitheater to coworkers, friends, and...
