Mankato RibFest Concerts Vetter Stone Amphitheatre
The Vetter Stone Amphitheatre, a prominent feature of Mankato RibFest, is a renowned outdoor concert venue celebrated for its rich history and community significance. This venue honors local and national artists with a dedicated memorial garden, paying tribute to those who have performed on its stage. In 2019, the installation of a massive LED screen significantly enhanced the visual experience for audiences, making concerts more immersive. The amphitheatre's first winter concert in 2024 showcased innovative amenities such as warming devices and hot beverage stands, allowing visitors to enjoy performances comfortably despite cold weather. Designed with audience comfort in mind, ground-level seats are wider than standard, accommodating longer events and ensuring a relaxed viewing experience. To promote safety, lower-level seating is assigned to maintain social distancing when needed.

This venue continues to be a cornerstone for community gatherings, offering memorable live music experiences in the heart of Mankato.
