Canterbury Park, a horse racetrack and casino, has long been known for large-scale concert events, but in 2021 began hosting an outdoor summer concert series in a more intimate trackside setting. The concert theater is positioned on the north end of the grandstand facing the track. The 2000-capacity theater offers multiple seating options and is known for the guests’ proximity to the performers and brilliant acoustics. Canterbury Park is easily accessible in Shakopee, Minn., a suburb 20 minutes southwest of Minneapolis.
Multiple full-service bars and dining options are open throughout the Canterbury facility before and after each show along with casino gaming including Blackjack, Pai Gow and Texas Hold ‘em poker. Food trucks and bars are available inside the concert area.
Canterbury Commons, the social district surrounding Canterbury Park, is home to several restaurants and bars including Boardwalk Kitchen & Bar, Mr. Pig’s Smokery, Bravi’s Craft Mexican Kitchen and Badger Hill Brewing, all welcoming concert goers.
