Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater, Bridgeport

Updated June 2026 · 5 min read

The short version

The Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater is one of Connecticut's most scenic summer venues. It seats about 5,700, outdoors, right on Bridgeport harbor. It opened in 2021. That's on the former Harbor Yard ballpark site. The waterfront setting makes it special. So does the mid-size scale.

Bridgeport once had an old waterfront ballpark here. Now it has an amphitheater. That gave Connecticut something special. It's one of the prettiest places to see a show. It pairs a harbor view. The room is comfortable and mid-size.

The amphitheater (~5,700)

The amphitheater opened in 2021. It seats about 5,700. The setup is partially covered and open-air. It sits right on Bridgeport harbor. The mid-size scale means good sightlines almost everywhere. The waterfront spot gives it a special feel. Bigger inland sheds can't match it. It runs a busy spring-through-fall season. Expect touring rock, pop, country, and more.

Best for: a scenic, mid-size summer concert by the water.

A waterfront night out

Part of the appeal is the setting. The amphitheater sits right downtown. It's next to the Total Mortgage Arena. It's off I-95 and near the train station. It's easy to reach. You can even come car-free from New Haven or New York. Pair the show with the harbor. Add a meal in town. That makes for a complete summer evening. For more, see our outdoor & summer concerts guide.
