LB Day Amphitheatre

Located within the Oregon State Fair & Exposition Center in Salem, the LB Day Amphitheatre is a cornerstone of the region’s outdoor entertainment scene. Established in 1987 and named for state legislator and fair advocate L.B. Day, the venue is celebrated for its open-air atmosphere and clear sightlines. Situated in the heart of the historic fairgrounds, it offers a classic festival environment where fans enjoy performances under the Pacific Northwest sky. The amphitheater serves as a primary destination for national touring acts, particularly during the annual Oregon State Fair. While it hosts various musical genres, it is also a prominent stop for major comedy tours. Notable performers who have brought their humor to this stage include musical comedy icon "Weird Al" Yankovic and stand-up superstar Gabriel Iglesias. For comedy fans, the venue provides a high-energy, large-scale setting that captures the excitement of a summer night out.
