The Bearsville Theater is more than a theater — it's an intimate destination that puts you close to the music and the heart of Woodstock’s legendary scene. Tucked within the Bearsville Center on Tinker Street in Woodstock, NY, it’s a go-to spot for Bearsville Theater upcoming events that bring fans together for unforgettable nights of live entertainment.

Opened in 1989 with a cozy capacity of 400, Bearsville Theater blends rustic, barn-like architecture with modern performance tech. You’ll find upgraded sound and lighting designed to showcase artists in a room built for warm acoustics, clarity, and connection.

Programming centers on concerts, live music, film screenings, and special events, honoring the region’s musical heritage. The venue and its surrounding campus have been touched by icons connected to Woodstock’s story — a legacy shaped by music manager Albert Grossman and visited by names like Bob Dylan, The Band, Janis Joplin, Todd Rundgren, Bonnie Raitt, The Weight Band, Mike Mattison, and Pete Francis.

Part of the historic Bearsville Center, the theater pairs its intimate stage with scenic grounds, creekside charm, and easy pre- and post-show hangouts. Whether you’re catching a special performance, a themed music night, or a film screening, the setting itself heightens the experience.

Come for the sound, stay for the spirit. With its close-quarters atmosphere and rich history, Bearsville Theater delivers a one-of-a-kind connection between artist and audience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Bearsville Theater

291 Tinker Street

Woodstock, NY 12498

Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available in the Bearsville Center parking lot.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. You’ll get the best parking, have time to explore the Bearsville Center, and can grab food or drinks before you head inside. For general admission shows, that early arrival also helps you settle into your preferred spot on the main floor.

While performances take place indoors, walkways between Bearsville Center buildings are outdoors and can be exposed to weather. If rain or snow is in the forecast, bring a jacket or umbrella for those brief transitions between parking, dining, and the theater entrance. Cell service is generally good but may be spotty inside the theater due to the rural setting, so download your tickets ahead of time.

The walk from the lot to the entrance is short with minimal elevation change. If you’re coordinating with a group, designate a meetup point — the Bearsville Center courtyard or a specific restaurant works well — and head in together for a smooth entry.

Venue Navigation

Inside, Bearsville Theater is designed for easy navigation: a main floor oriented to the stage and a balcony area that opens for select events. The intimate layout keeps sightlines strong and transitions simple, so you won’t spend your night searching for your section.

You’ll find concessions serving snacks, beverages, and local beer and wine, with additional dining and amenities across the Bearsville Center. Restrooms are on-site, and artist or venue merchandise is available at select shows. Comfortable footwear is a smart choice, especially if you plan to stroll the grounds, pop into nearby restaurants, or head up to the balcony when it’s open.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Small bags are permitted; large backpacks and oversized bags may be subject to search or not allowed.
Prohibited Items: Outside food and drink, professional cameras (without prior approval), weapons, and illegal substances.
Re-entry Policy: Generally allowed with a ticket or wristband, but policies may vary by event — check your event details.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.

Arrive early to enjoy the Bearsville Center’s dining options like Bear Café or The Bear Cantina before your show.
Check your event info to see if the balcony is open and whether your show is seated or general admission.

Pre-Event Planning

Make a night of it by exploring the Bearsville Center before the performance. The grounds are especially scenic in the fall, and the creekside setting offers a calm backdrop for pre-show photos or a quick stroll between dinner and doors. If you’re planning a celebration or group outing, you’ll appreciate the relaxed atmosphere — it’s easy to linger with a drink and soak in the vibe.

Dining first? With on-site options and nearby favorites in Woodstock Village, you can tailor your evening to your tastes. Check the event listing for themes, film screenings, or special music nights to match your plans — Bearsville Theater upcoming events often reflect the legacy and diversity of the Woodstock scene.

Coordinating with friends? Share your seating preferences in advance, use the interactive map to pick your sections together, and agree on a meetup point at Bearsville Center. This keeps arrival smooth, especially if some of your group is coming via Trailways bus followed by a short rideshare.
