It is home to the Waterfront Concert Series.
The amphitheater opened July 27, 2010, with a concert by Celtic Woman.[1] Owned by the city of Bangor,[2] the venue can house up to 15,000 spectators depending on configuration. In 2012, a proposal was submitted to the City Council to make the amphitheater a permanent venue.[3] The council voted to keep the venue but declined its transition to a permanent stage.[4] Renovation were made in 2013 to maintain the grounds, adhere to noise ordinances and expand the venue from 8,000 to 16,500.[5] The venue seats 6,400 under the Hussey seating and has lawn space for over 10,000 spectors.[6]
A University of Maine study in 2013 showed that the economic impact of the Waterfront Concert series totaled more than $30 million since 2010.[7]
