In November 2021, AGNJ signed a memorandum of understanding with the city of Burlington to begin a capital fundraising campaign to raise funds for the construction and operation of an outdoor amphitheater on its Delaware Riverfront Promenade. The city has set aside approximately $600,000 for the project and AGNJ is seeking an additional $800,000 in funding through grants, corporate sponsorships, and private donors as required before the City can publicly advertise for bids on the project.
Our intention is to have all funding in place to break ground on January 2023 and complete the project in the summer. The amphitheater will offer both free and paid entertainment to the community throughout the year and play a significant role in bringing the community together and revitalizing the downtown area. The venue is expected to bring in sufficient revenue through tickets sales and concessions to sustain itself by year two.
