This afternoon, The Coves Amphitheater hosted a beautiful and intimate wrap-up celebration for the 2025 Neighbors in Need Campaign.

It was a perfect reminder that The Coves isn't just a stunning venue; it is a place where the community comes together to support the arts and help our neighbors most in need. We left feeling grateful, inspired, and connected.
