Anfiteatro Manuel Antonio Ramírez, Open-air amphitheater in Posadas, Argentina
The Anfiteatro Manuel Antonio Ramírez is an open-air amphitheater situated on the natural slope of Cerro Pelon overlooking the Parana River. The venue accommodates thousands of seated spectators, with flexibility to add standing room or temporary seating for larger events.
The amphitheater opened in 1962 and was originally built to host a national basketball championship within a short construction period. Since then, it has developed into an important venue for regional cultural events and performances.
The venue serves as a gathering place for regional musicians and has hosted the Festival de la Musica del Litoral since the early 1960s. This role has made it central to how the area expresses its artistic identity through live performance.
The venue sits by the river and is accessible by public transportation, with clear signage around the grounds. Since it is an open-air space on a slope, visitors should prepare for changing weather and bring sun protection on bright days.
The stage is named after Alcibiades Alarcon, a local songwriter and poet who shaped the region's musical tradition. This naming reflects how the place honors the contributions of its own artistic ancestors.
