Portsmouth has two great venues for music and the arts.

The Portsmouth Harbor Center Pavilion (formerly nTelos Pavilion) is a 6,500 seat amphitheater that’s a fun place to enjoy a concert, either under the tent structure, or under the stars on the lawn. The Pavilion is located on the waterfront in downtown Portsmouth.

Willett Hall is a 2,000 seat indoor facility with outstanding acoustics, located near one of Portsmouth’s residential neighborhoods.
