Forest Edge Community Amphitheater, formerly Fort Hamby Community Amphitheater, is a state-of-the art, 900 seat facility with a complete professional sound and lighting system. It is designed to offer the community and region superior accommodations and setting for outdoor concerts, theater productions, reunions, festivals, corporate functions, and arts and environmental education and training.

The construction of Forest Edge Community Amphitheater was completed by the Army Corps of Engineers. This project, however, is truly a collaborative among the Army Corps, who contributed $350,000 and manpower; Wilkes Playmakers who assisted with the design; Lowes Hardware, Golden Leaf Foundation and the Wilkes County Tourism Development Association who provided grant funding; and other corporate sponsors who have made cash or in-kind donations: Aquavibe; Duke Power; Vulcan; Carl Rose & Son Paving.

Forest Edge Community Amphitheater is the site for many summer events sponsored by Friends of the W. Kerr Scott Lake and it is home to the outdoor performance of Wilkes Playmakers' Tom Dooley: A Wilkes County Legend and their new production, Moonshine and Thunder: The Junior Johnson Story.
