One of the many joys of summer is seeing live music outside under the stars. With its many outdoor amphitheaters, Atlanta concert-goers are lucky to have a variety of venues to choose from, including those that are larger and attract more well-known artists and smaller, more intimate settings with more local or regionally popular musicians.

Our real estate agents suggest seeing live music at some of the following outdoor venues around Atlanta this summer.

  Cadence Bank Amphitheatre at Chastain Park is located in the 268-acre park of the same name. It, and the surrounding Buckhead neighborhood, has a rich history since opening in 1944. Most shows at the 7,000-seat amphitheatre are scheduled between the end of May and early September.
