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 coordination with and support from Partners of Parks we have created a new non-profit organization, Friends of Recreation Park Bandshell (FORPBS).
