About Us

The Coves Amphitheater and Charity Concert Series were born to support the performing arts while helping local charities serving people in need. It is also a way of celebrating traditions old and new in this rural community with a deep appreciation for multiple genres of music. From Grammy award winners to popular local and regional acts, our stage welcomes top talent from all across the globe.

For questions about the Amphitheater, please visit the frequently asked questions on our FAQs page.


The Coves Amphitheater was integrated into Smith Mountain Lake’s first sustainable community, The Coves. The Coves is a private residential community that lives in harmony with the area’s natural beauty while offering residents a lifestyle that combines modern amenities with the aesthetics of a private nature park.
