The heartbeat of Cascades Park is undoubtedly the Adderley Amphitheater at Cascades Park. This amphitheater provides the park's pulse, making it alive and vibrant with color and sound. Located next to the Prime Meridian Plaza, the amphitheater features a canopied 80 feet by 55 feet stage, which can be seen from all angles of the park. The amphitheater is equipped to handle both local and regional acts - musical, theatrical and just about anything else that tickles your fancy. With its state-of-the-art lighting and sound system, you and your friends are sure to be amazed!

The Adderley is named for Julian "Cannonball" and Nathaniel "Nat" Adderley. Both brothers began playing brass instruments early in life and performed throughout their teenage years in local and high school bands. Both brothers then graduated from FAMU and eventually became jazz giants widely known for pioneering the sub-genre "soul jazz." Over the course of their careers, Cannonball and Nat both had significant success playing in their own bands as well as with major jazz musicians, including Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton, J.J. Johnson, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Though they traveled widely, Tallahassee was home. The Adderley brothers often returned for family visits and were both laid to rest in Tallahassee's Southside Cemetery.
