Bandshell History
-
Since 1929, the Bandshell at Recreation Park in Long Beach has had a long history of hosting events from theatre to bands to high school graduations.​

In recent years this registered Historic Landmark has been underutilized and fallen into some disrepair.​

In 2023 we created a new non-profit organization for the sole purposes of reactivating and revitalizing the Recreation Park Bandshell!
