The conceptual renderings for the new Band Shell at Presque Isle Park put forth a design that honors the original structure while offering significant upgrades to the site as an accessible and multi-functional event venue. The designs received overwhelmingly positive response from local stakeholders and community members. In consideration of both function and form, the final design features cedar clad interior, local stone on the back-of-house wings, and accessible seating integrated into the general audience. A generous gift from the Hirvonen Foundation has made this project possible and now additional fundraising will bring this community amenity to fruition. We have received a rough estimate of the total construction cost and tiered giving will begin by the end of August. Fundraising will provide not only the needed funds for the construction, but also establish an endowment for future maintenance and care for the Peg Hirvonen Band Shell to ensure a cherished venue for generations to come.

We are currently seeking names of potential donors. Please follow the link below and fill out the form if you or someone you know would like to be contacted about opportunities for giving to this special project.
