About this venue
First Security Amphitheatre is an open-air amphitheater designed for concerts, festivals, and major live events under the sky. Its appeal lies not only in the stage itself, but also in its riverside setting and open layout, which create a relaxed, easy-to-navigate, and memorable environment for audiences. As one of Little Rock’s key concert venues, it combines park-like surroundings, urban energy, and the practical structure of a dedicated event space.
The experience inside the amphitheater is shaped by open-air acoustics, clear stage views, and several audience zones, ranging from fixed seating to lawn areas for a more informal event atmosphere. Visitors value the straightforward layout, restroom facilities, food and drink options, and the venue’s flexibility for concerts, touring productions, celebrations, and cultural programs.
The venue is located at 400 President Clinton Ave, Arkansas 72201, Little Rock, United States. The entrance sits within the Riverfront Park area along President Clinton Avenue, with nearby public parking garages and lots available across the street or within a short walk of the amphitheater.

About the city
Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, combines Southern hospitality, a lively cultural scene, and the practical scale of a city that is very comfortable for event visitors. As an entertainment hub in Central Arkansas, the city attracts fans of concerts, sports games, family shows, and stage performances, while its location along the Arkansas River gives it a distinctive urban rhythm. Venues and stadiums in Little Rock and neighboring North Little Rock fit easily into a stay that can be short, simple, and well organized.
Infrastructure is one of the city’s greatest advantages for audiences attending events. Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) is located close to downtown, while Union Station is the main railway station for passengers arriving in Little Rock by train. Local transport is operated by Rock Region METRO, with services such as METRO Local and METRO Streetcar, making it easier to move between downtown, the River Market district, hotels, and major locations such as Simmons Bank Arena, Robinson Center, and War Memorial Stadium. Thanks to the compact layout of the wider city center, a combination of public transport, taxis, rideshares, and private cars allows easy access to arenas and stadiums.
Little Rock’s tourist bonus is best experienced before or after an event, when a visit can be extended with a walk along the Arkansas River, time in the River Market District, or a crossing of the pedestrian bridges that connect the city’s riverbanks. Visitors can explore Downtown Little Rock, the historic Quapaw Quarter, nearby museums, restaurants, and green spaces, so an evening reserved for a concert or game can easily become a complete city experience. Little Rock is therefore a practical choice for anyone who wants to combine event tickets with a relaxed visit to a riverfront city.
