About this venue
Amphitheatre Cogeco stands out as an open-air amphitheatre that combines contemporary design with the relaxed atmosphere of major seasonal events. Its outdoor concept is especially well suited to concerts, festivals, and evening performances, giving audiences a more direct connection to the stage and a livelier overall experience than many enclosed venues. That is precisely why it has become an important destination for live entertainment in Trois-Rivières.
Inside Amphitheatre Cogeco, the focus is on clear sightlines, strong sound projection, and an enjoyable experience throughout the event. The open layout creates an airy setting, while the stage-facing configuration helps even larger shows feel engaging and close to the performers. Visitors appreciate the mix of concert energy, comfortable event viewing, and an atmosphere that feels particularly appealing during the warmer months.
Address: 100 Av. des Draveurs, Trois-Rivières, Canada. On arrival, the easiest way to reach the entrance is to follow local venue signage and use the nearby parking areas, as the access point is best approached from the immediate surroundings of the amphitheatre.

About the city
Trois-Rivières, a city set between the Saint-Maurice and Saint Lawrence rivers, has established itself as an appealing centre of entertainment, culture, and major events in Québec. Its blend of urban atmosphere, historic character, and a more relaxed pace makes it a very rewarding destination for visitors arriving for sporting events, concerts, and other live experiences. The city gives a strong sense of accessibility and ease, making it simple to plan a stay without unnecessary stress or wasted time. In addition, visitors can choose from a range of accommodation, dining, and leisure options, which makes the overall experience comfortable and practical.
One of the city’s main advantages is its good transport connectivity and easy orientation on arrival. Local public transport is provided by the Société de transport de Trois-Rivières (STTR), while an important arrival point for coach travellers is the Gare d'autocars de Trois-Rivières, served by Orléans Express. For air travel, visitors can use Aéroport de Trois-Rivières, while rail arrivals are most commonly linked with Gare de Drummondville or Gare du Palais in Québec City, from where onward travel to Trois-Rivières can be arranged easily by road. This combination of coach services, regional road links, and local transport makes access to the city’s main halls, arenas, and event venues straightforward and convenient.
Before or after an event, it is well worth setting aside time for Vieux-Trois-Rivières and a walk through the historic centre, where the meeting point of heritage and contemporary city life is felt most strongly. The streets of the old town, the area around Rue des Ursulines, and the views toward the meeting of the rivers all help give the city its distinctive identity. Places such as Boréalis and the waterfront promenades add further value to a visit, as does the pleasant atmosphere of the city centre, where it is easy to combine an event outing with a short sightseeing break. For that reason, Trois-Rivières is not just a destination for tickets, but also a city where the overall travel experience naturally feels complete.
