The Amphitheatre was constructed with State of Georgia Grant Appropriations and funding from the Cobb County Board of Commissioners. The facility is designed to accommodate performances of all types including concerts, musical theatre, dance, symphony orchestras, plays and multi-discipline performances.

Today, the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre is metro-Atlanta’s only midsize, outdoor concert venue with covered, reserved seating. The Amphitheatre is home to a wide range of events ranging from community festivals, road races, dance recitals, school graduations, corporate events, church events, concerts and much more. The Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre hosts an average of 40 events and welcomes over 50,000 visitors each year during the summer season.
