The Connie Link Amphitheater was completed in October of 2007 and programming began in the spring of 2008. This beautiful and unique amphitheatre is located behind the Park Maintenance Building at 611 S. Linden and is very accessible from the Constitution Trail.

The audience is encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to sit on the grass terraces while enjoying the many programs being offered at this facility. Some of the current programs include: High School Summer Theatre productions, Dress Up movie nights and the concert series Sounds of the Amphitheatre.

Programming begins in May and runs through October, weather permitting. Parking is available at 611 S. Linden, a grass lot in Underwood Park across from the amphitheatre, and the Village Apartments parking lot (Summer only).

This summer, going to the movies takes on a whole new meaning when you attend Normal Parks and Recreation’s Dress-Up Movie Nights at the Connie Link Amphitheatre located at 611 S. Linden St.

Come dressed-up as your favorite movie character or bring your favorite movie prop from that evening’s show. Each night before the movie begins, audience members will be encouraged to come up on stage and show off their outfits or movie props. Movies begin at dusk and are free. Popcorn and soda/water will be for sale for $1.00. Attendees ages 10 and under will also receive a special item that relates to that evening’s movie.
