———-
The Badlands Amphitheatre is unique on earth – 400 acres of Canadian Badlands set aside for artistic expression, bringing together performers, musicians, actors, and artists from across Canada and beyond. This nonprofit community hosts a diverse range of talent, from world-renowned musicians and theatrical performances to local artists making their mark on the stage.
Our small staff works incredibly hard to create unforgettable experiences for our Badlands Amp community of guests, supporters, and volunteers.
Updated July 26 ,2026: You are part of this story. This place exists because people believed it was worth keeping alive.
Through every challenge, a very small and dedicated team has persevered. But we cannot keep going on heart alone. Ticket sales do not cover the full scale of this place – 400 acres set aside for community, creativity, and creation.
The global pandemic took us from over 20,000 guests in a season to less than 1% of our normal attendance. For the first time in our history, the Badlands Amphitheatre was shut down for for two years.
The years that followed did not bring a quick recovery, and we are still feeling the effects. Production costs, insurance, utilities, staffing, and artist expenses have all risen significantly. We have cut costs. Our staff have carried extraordinary workloads. But we cannot keep asking so much of so few.
In order to move forward, we need to raise $250,000 by Fall 2026. So far, we have raised $52,475. That is a real start. But we need more help.
Your gift makes a real difference. Please join us by donating.
Every gift matters. This place is set aside for you. Help us keep it going.
With gratitude,
Your Badlands Amp team
