Trois-Rivieres, September 25, 2017 – It is with great pride that the Corporation des Évènements de Trois-Rivières closes its third season of operations. A total of 107,000 people visited the Cogeco Amphitheatre during the summer of 2017, a 13% increase over the previous year's overall traffic.

The work done by the team and the meticulousness operations ensured that the Cogeco Amphitheatre was successful and convince fans of music and performing shows to make Trois-Rivières one of their destinations this summer.
"This third summer season offered one of the most diverse program in the history of the amphitheatre, bringing a wide range of emotions to our customers. Of course, the tremendous success of the Cirque du Soleil show - STONE, Tribute to Plamondon is certainly the central element of the 2017 season " says Roger Picard, president of the Corporation des Évènements de Trois -Rivières.
The implementation of several concrete actions to raise the Cogeco Amphitheatre spectators experience, the addition of many technological tools in the various contact points with our customers, the implementation of a sustainable development plan, the promotion of the collaboration with the various tourism and cultural players in the area and the synergistic development of our various events have allowed the Cogeco Amphitheatre to present a unique cultural offer as a pillar for the region.
