BANANAS at BERHTA is the campus's large open-air stage, with a published capacity of about 2,000 for festivals and day-to-night events. Current programming leans electronic, house, deep house, and live electronic, but the scale is large enough for broader concert production. Many current events are 21+, with access varying by show.
