After a brief closure due to damages caused by Hurricane Maria, the amphitheatre opened in mid December 2017 with a concert by Circo, and other artists with Corona Fest x Nuestra Playas (Corona Fest for our Beaches).[2]
In December 2021, Latin Jazz musician, Eddie Palmieri performed at the amphitheatre[3] and in June 2022, Bad Bunny and Buscabulla performed in concert there.[4]
