The Hilde Performance Center, an open air stage, is located at approximately 3500 Plymouth Blvd. This is behind the City Hall/Public Safety Building complex and adjacent to the Life Time Fitness building. Entrances and paths leading to the Hilde Center are located:
- On Plymouth Blvd. between Life Time Fitness and City Hall. This entrance has a sign that says Plymouth Amphitheater;
- At the far end (north) of the City Hall parking lot;
- Behind City Hall (off 34th Ave. N.); and
- At the south end of the Life Time Fitness parking lot.
Please note, due to mature trees surrounding the Hilde Center and natural amphitheater area, the band shell can be difficult to see from the street during summer months.
Parking
If you're going to an event at the Hilde, some on-street parking is available in the City Center area. You may also park in the City Hall parking lot.
Generous Donation Made Hilde Center Possible
The Hilde Performance Center was made possible through a $1 million donation by former Mayor Al Hilde, Jr. and his wife, Jayne. Hilde was Plymouth's mayor from 1968 - 1978.
The open air stage was designed by the same architects that designed the Lake Harriet Bandshell in Minneapolis. The 45-foot tall facility has a raised stage and an acoustic-friendly undulating roof. A glass wall in the back of the stage allows the audience to view the wetlands beyond the stage.
The stage serves as a home for Music in Plymouth, an annual outdoor concert by the Minnesota Orchestra, as well as other performing arts.
The Parks and Recreation Department handles inquiries about the Hilde Performance Center.
