AMP IT UP IN ALTON On a warm summer evening, the sounds of music swirl across the waters of the Mississippi River. It could be cool jazz from nationally known acts or rip-roaring rock n roll from a regional band. And it all starts at Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater perched on Alton’s historic riverfront.
From a jazz and wine festival celebrating the music of Miles Davis, to food truck festivals with live music, and a Fireworks Over the Mississippi family fun event on July 3, the amphitheater hosts a wide range of events throughout the spring, summer and fall. Kenny Rogers, Travis Tritt, Charlie Daniels, Sugar Ray, Sister Hazel, Uncle Kracker and Smashmouth have all brought their musical might to the 4,000 seat amphitheater. Every year several national acts are booked into the facility. An assortment of festivals top off activities at the amphitheater annually.
