Ed: We went with family to the amphitheater, especially for our young children to experience fireworks close up for the first time. We had thought that this venue would provide a more sophisticated environment with the symphony entertaining, but we unfortunately were mistaken. The entire experience was a nightmare from the sheer volume of attendees, the overwhelming amount of traffic, overpacked lawn area, incompetent gate workers, mind numbing line waiting and prices for concessions.We arrived 2 hours early before fireworks in order to have sufficient time to enjoy the amenities, and perhaps avoid any stress from later arriving crowds. This turned out to be a pointless strategy because the rush was on even at this time frame with lines at the check-in gate compounded by aggravating gate personnel. The sensor went off at the gate, I emptied my pockets, and, except for the amalgam in my fillings, I was free of metals. They were confused why I was emptying my pockets but still detaining me for the detector still going off. They seemed a little jumbled about their job requirements so I waited until they sorted themselves out. Given the all clear, I expressed myself on their level of expertise and I proceeded. The amphitheater was pretty but arriving at the lawn, or pine needles, it was already overtaken with people. This was a smaller amphitheater from my experience, which might contribute to the overcrowding, especially a free event like this. It was literally people packed upon one another, walking over and around each other, no peaceful sitting on "the lawn" here. They had a hot dog for sale,... about the only average food on the menu, otherwise it was like Au Bon Pain with aioli on your wagyu beef patty and commensurate pricing,  $14 swanky cheeburger, $10 soft drink, $12 beer. I commend having premium offerings, however sticking to some basic items would have helped. Even free they had their gimmick for extracting a pound of flesh it seems. The Symphony was beautiful from what we could hear, however music volume on the upper lawn was insufficient to compete with the noise and conversations. We decided to, unfortunately, leave the lawn area and head towards the pond and food truck area, for a better view and to focus on the main event. This did not disappoint with a wonderful 20 minute display, thank you town of Cary. The food trucks were undoable, swamped, lines ten car lengths long provided no recourse.When leaving we encountered the final punishment of the entire fiasco. A fifteen minute drive home turned into an hour and a half, hundreds of cars just sitting for about forty five minutes to an hour in parking lots idling. On our walk back to the free parking area on Regency parkway they opened up traffic westbound in the eastbound lane to maximize car egress I would guess. Unfortunately, despite a sidewalk, there still were people unknowingly walking in the eastbound road from the previous length of roadway marked off and closed. This was quite dangerous being it was dark and as the vehicles came up from behind pedestrians quickly, without warning, having been released from their bondage in the parking lot. There was yelling and angry horn honking, cars accelerating around people and themselves to get by. It didn't seem well planned out and fortunately didn't end catastrophic.Great fireworks, thank you Cary.However, the amphitheater has room for improvement. As other reviews have mentioned, considering the size of the turnout for the event, limiting the attendance or increasing the surrounding entertainment capacity for crowds would be helpful. Maybe decentralizing the entertainment from the amphitheater, and in partnership with the city, having a couple of bands out on the public Street, like they do in Raleigh, would help to increase enjoyment and distribute the crowds. As for the amphitheater, I would reconsider going to other events there if I knew there were similar circumstances, which numerous other reviews have confirmed as being the case.

Ron Cohen: Went for fire works, would have been nice if somewhere it was posted you HAVE to be in the amphitheater to see them. Don't go for July 4th unless you pay to sit inside.Looks like a fun spot for a show, but it's ABSOLUTELY not family friendly for July 4th without buying seats. And even then it was incredibly over crowded and extremely expensive...

Justin Bulson: The staff were very kind, accommodating, and very helpful when we had some issues with the security team. The Koka Booth Amphitheater staff went above and beyond to make sure my friends and I who are disabled were comfortable and accommodated.Visited on Public holiday Wait time Up to 10 min Reservation recommended Yes Price for adult entry Free …More

Ron Smith: Koka Booth should not be allowed to host more people and cars than the roads in and out can accommodate. Exiting after an event can take up to 2 HOURS!!! The Town of Cary should hire some urban planners to design adequate roads.Visited on Weekday Wait time No wait …More
