•The first edition of the festival was held in 1995. Its origins can be traced to the Youth Music meetings that were held at the city Planetarium since 1992. The people responsible for these meetings were Mario Duarte, member of the defunct band 'La Derecha', whose objective was to garner support from Bogota's Institute of Culture and Tourism; and Julio Correal, an entrepeneur and concert promoter who ran several youth-oriented community programs within the city. The first edition of the festival was held between May 26th and May 29th, 1995, in different venues, such as the 'Media Torta' (Spanish for 'Half Cake', an outdoor theater named because its general shape resembles that of a cake that has been cut in half), Simón Bolívar Park, Olaya Herrera Stadium, and the Santa María Bullfighting Ring. This last venue was the only one to charge admission; however, after 1996, the festival did not employ the second stage at the Santa María Bullfighting Ring, thus making the festival completely free.
•Soon after, 'Rock al Parque' developed several offshoots, such as seminars, workshops, conferences, and lectures hosted by academics and other important guests.
•The festival, which originally only hosted acts that played rock music, was gradually opened up to include other genres, such as punk, reggae, ska and blues. Due to this increase in diversity, the festival's organizers started scheduling bands so that different types of music could play alongside one another, as opposed to grouping acts by genre.
