For a July 7:00 PM show at Seminole Center Outdoors, the sun sits 16° up in the west at the start, so shade means getting under the grandstand roof or the deck above you. Sunset is 8:20 PM local, so an evening show gets real shade as the sun drops. By 7:05 PM the sun is only 15° up in the west, 76 minutes from setting.

Timing is everything at a small open-air venue, and Seminole Center Outdoors in Immokalee is a good example of why. There is no permanent roof to lean on here, so the sun does the deciding, and in high summer the deciding happens in the last hour before dark.
By a typical 7:00 PM start the sun over Immokalee has dropped to roughly 16 degrees above the horizon and sits out to the west-northwest. Sunset comes around 8:20 PM. That gives you a familiar shape for the night: low western light across the grounds for the opening act, then a clean handover to full shade once the sun is down. If a show starts closer to dark, you may skip the glare entirely.
We have not verified how Seminole Center Outdoors is oriented, so we will not guess which part of the crowd catches the sun first. On an unroofed lawn that matters less than at a covered amphitheater anyway, because everyone shares the same sky. What helps most is seeing the actual shadows for your date, and the satellite shadow view on the interactive shade map does that for any location, including this one.
Southwest Florida in high summer means heat and thick humidity that hang on after sunset, so the practical advice is less about sunburn and more about staying cool. Bring water, wear light clothing, and find whatever shade the edges of the grounds offer before the gates open. The good news is that an evening show sidesteps the worst of the afternoon, and the temperature genuinely eases once the low sun finally drops out of sight.
