Fountain City Amphitheater

Providing free, top-quality entertainment to the people of Bryan and the surrounding area.

Dear Friend of the Amphitheater,

For the past five years, the Fountain City Amphitheater has been proud to bring free, high-quality entertainment to Bryan and the surrounding area. What started as a dream to create a community gathering place has now grown into one of Northwest Ohio’s most vibrant spaces for music, arts, and fellowship. Thanks to the generosity of 58 businesses, individuals, and families, our 2025 season was one of our best yet. Together, we hosted 30 events with more than 6,000 attendees and raised $87,000 to cover expenses.

Every single dollar raised goes right back into the community—supporting bands, professional sound engineers, performer travel and lodging, marketing, and equipment. Your support has made it possible for us to bring in nationally recognized performers, while also giving local talent a stage to shine. Families have gathered for story times and fitness classes, friends have laughed together at comedy nights, and thousands have filled the amphitheater lawn on warm summer evenings to experience the joy of live music.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re not only planning to do it all again—we want to do even more. Our schedule already includes six concerts along with family-friendly programming, worship gatherings, comedy nights, and other community-focused events that bring people of all ages together. But we don’t want to stop there. With your help, we can expand even further—offering more opportunities, more variety, and more reasons for our community to come together at the Amphitheater.

We also want to make the Amphitheater experience more accessible and welcoming for everyone. One of our goals for 2026 is to begin offering a shuttle service to help guests get from the parking areas to the Amphitheater with ease. For many—especially seniors, families with young children, and those with mobility challenges—the walk from the lot can be difficult. A shuttle would ensure that every person, no matter their situation, can comfortably take part in the events that make our community shine.

This vision is only possible with your help. Your early gift is vital to keeping these programs free and ensuring we can continue to bring top-quality entertainment to Bryan. Just as importantly, your donation helps us grow—adding more events, launching new initiatives like the shuttle service, and making the Amphitheater a welcoming space for everyone.

Your donation is fully tax-deductible and will have a direct impact on our community. Most importantly, it helps make Bryan a more vibrant place to live, work, and play. With your support, we can keep building a tradition of music, laughter, and connection for years to come.

Thank you for being part of our story. We truly couldn’t do this without you—and we can’t wait to see you at the Amphitheater next summer!

With gratitude,

Jeffrey Tonjes – Fountain City Amphitheater Coordinator
