Kingswood Music Theatre

Kingswood Music Theatre was a 15,000-seat amphitheatre located at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario. Kingswood was open from May to September. The facility opened in 1983. The last concert was in 2019 and the property is currently being used for storage. Kingswood was an open-air covered amphitheatre with reserve seating and exposed lawn seats for the audience. The Nederlander Organization was involved in concert promotion at the Kingswood Music Theatre at Canada's Wonderland when the venue first opened in the early 1980s. However, their involvement was reportedly short-lived due to disappointing crowds and noise complaints from local residents. On August 18, 1986, the reunion of Canadian folk duo Ian & Sylvia was filmed at Kingswood by CBC Television, with guests Gordon Lightfoot, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris and Murray McLachlan. After the Molson Amphitheatre opened in 1995 and Air Canada Centre opened in 1999 in more populous and centralized downtown Toronto the use of Kingswood as a music venue declined. Cultural festivals at the theatre became more prominent. The box office at the gates of Wonderland was removed because of the decline of the theatre as a music venue. As of April 2026, Canada's Wonderland removed Kingswood's entrance gates in the park.
