In the first 25 years following its construction in 1993, it was used mainly as a community bandshell with free shows held on weekends throughout the summer, hosting local artists and acts ranging from country to jazz.

While initial concept plans of the new facility drew criticism from the community over its design and potential impacts to views of the surrounding nature, revisions were made to the design to better align the facility with the rest of the "town's character".

Other notable acts that have since played the venue include Bob Dylan, Caamp, The B-52s, Brothers Osborne, Shakey Graves, Pretty Lights, among many others.

Free concerts are still held, along with other events, including "Movies on the Water", "Yoga at the Amphitheater", and country-western dancing.
