HAPO Community Stage
The HAPO Community Stage celebrated its grand opening on Saturday, April 9, 2016. Located in the heart of Richland, WA at John Dam Plaza, this $1.1 million facility was a long-term goal on the City's master plan. The City had a vision for an outdoor performance venue that could host local performing arts groups, the extremely popular Live @ 5 summer concert series, movies in the park, as well as diverse performance acts, spanning all genres, from around the world. The outdoor stage and amphitheater offers an acoustical shell, bowl-shaped seating, pads for food and beverage vendors, state-of-the- art sound and lighting equipment, as well as backstage facilities for performers.
The HAPO Community Stage is available for rent for public and/or private events!
