We are absolutely thrilled to announce the successful completion of a major improvement project: the resurfacing and repair of the lower section of the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre parking lot , adjacent to the Little Theatre. This is more than just new asphalt; it's a huge step forward in improving accessibility and safety for everyone who visits our historic venue. We know how much this was needed, and seeing it finished is a massive win for the entire community. A True Team Victory Seeing this project finalized is a testament to the dedication of the Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre Board of Directors and our incredible community partners. This was a challenging task, and the credit for seeing it through belongs squarely to them. We owe our deepest thanks to several key individuals and organizations who made this possible: Lori VanArsdale , whose guidance and persistent efforts were essential. The Gosch Family , for their unmeasurable and unwavering support of the Ramona Bowl and the Hemet community. Al Cordova , for his crucial contributions to getting the work done. Board President Joe Grindstaff and Ramona Bowl acting CEO Chuck Champion also provided the crucial momentum needed to bring this long-standing priority to completion. As President Grindstaff noted, “This project has been a priority for the Board for many years, and seeing it completed is a major milestone for the future of the Bowl. The new lower lot surface drastically improves the experience for our visitors.” We are simply thrilled to have this area ready for use! Whether you're joining us for our upcoming spooky fun or preparing for the next season of Ramona, you can count on a smoother, safer arrival. Thank you to everyone who supports the Ramona Bowl.

About Ramona: Ramona is a play based on the novel by Helen Hunt Jackson. It tells the story of Ramona, a young woman of Native American and Spanish descent, who falls in love with Alessandro, a Native American man. The play is set in Southern California in the 1800s and is a powerful tale of love, loss, and injustice. The Ramona Bowl Amphitheatre is a unique outdoor theatre located in Hemet, California. It is the home of the annual Ramona Pageant, which has been performed every year since 1923. We hope you'll join us for this exciting event!
