“Representing Coney Island is an honor, and I’m over the moon to have SummerStage at our Amphitheater. I can’t wait to enjoy these incredible shows with our diverse community,” said Coney Island Council Member Justin Brannan. “Here’s to an unforgettable summer filled with great music.”
The Coney Island Amphitheater opened at the newly renovated Childs Restaurant building in June 2016. The 5,000-seat outdoor venue was a long time coming for local pols — its opening struck a particular chord with former Borough President Marty Markowitz, who proposed converting the landmark into a bandshell in 2013 after he tried and failed to create one at nearby Asser Levy Park back in 2009.
