  • This weekend, a local Billy Strings fan group helped raise $2,200 for Hurricane Helene Relief (including $1,500 in Home Depot and Lowes gift cards!) Additionally, the group was able to fill their truck with donations from fans including propane heaters & tanks, chainsaws, sleeping bags, tents, blankets, dog food and crates, diapers, flashlights, cleaning supplies, canned goods, first-aid supplies and so much more. A huge thank you to the group for organizing these efforts and to everyone who donated to help those impacted by Hurricane Helene. ❤️

    We're thrilled to share The Orion Amphitheater has been awarded VenuesNow's Best Sustainability Initiative in the Venue Operation category for the work we've put into our Artist Garden! The Artist Garden benefits every part of The Orion's campus - from ingredients grown to support exclusive cocktails and dishes at Odette, to providing an educational space for Master Gardeners and Junior Gardener Workshops, to giving artists a place to decompress while on the road. Since opening in 2022, we’ve harvested over 325 pounds of fruits and veggies from our Artist Garden. This wouldn’t be possible without the immense efforts of our Sustainability and Food & Beverage teams to procure the freshest ingredients possible for our guests in the front of house and backstage.

    CHEERS TO THE TEAM 👏 Last week, we took advantage of a night off and invited the entire Orion team out to Jeff & Blues for some burgers, beers, and a little team bonding. We chatted about what we’ve accomplished so far in Season 3, plans for next year, and opened the floor for questions about where we see The Orion going in the future. (And - of course - we ended the night with a little karaoke.) 🎶 Getting together to celebrate the first half of Season 3 with the whole team was such a rewarding experience. As we look at the INCREDIBLE concerts & community events we have on the calendar for the rest of the year (and heading into 2025!), we’re grateful for a night to all be together before we hit the ground running! 🚀 Finally - a huge THANK YOU to everyone in this photo (and everyone who couldn’t make it out to join us!) for your hard work in making The Orion an amazing venue - and an amazing place to work. Y’all are the best team in the world! 💫 📸 by Joshua W.
