St. James Park Bandshell
8/15/2016
The St. James Bandshell, located in the National Historic District of Astor Neighborhood, was constructed in 2002. Bay Architects designed it.
The total cost of the bandshell was approximately $110,000 with $105,000 of it raised through one major donation and the remaining $5,000 was City funded. A plaque on the bandshell honors Mildred Hollman Smith who lived on Monroe Street and whose family donated $100,000 of the funds needed. No major changes have happened since its construction.
The Green Bay City Band plays Wednesday evenings during the summer.
A sign in St. James Park also lists the concert schedule.
Other neighborhood events are held there and the city rents the space to the public.
