Wabeno Bandshell Park
Picture9/14/2018; wrought iron artistic fencing at stage sides
The curved Wabeno bandshell boldly greets everyone with "WELCOME TO WABENO".  Larry the Log Roller, a twenty-two foot tall fiberglass statue, acts as the official ambassador.  Besides the friendly words on the bandshell, the sides of the stage have artistic wrought iron fencing designed with evergreen trees and deer.  A Memorial Walkway with engraved brick pavers commeorating community members, along with benches, lines the historic Park area.  The bandshell is located along State Highway 32, which passes directly through the center of Wabeno.   ​

​In May 2011, the bandshell was destroyed by a storm.  However, with much community effort, it was restored by May 2012.  The September 9, 2013, Pioneer Press describes official dedication of it with Louis Mallow narrating how his father had been part of the creation and construction of the original 1941 bandshell.

Musical events are held during the summer such as Steam Up Days (7/8/2023)  and the Wabeno Art and Music Festival in mid summer.

​The small community of Wabeno has many attractions nearby that celebrate its history, including an 1897 library and schoolhouse and the 1941 Wabeno Logging Museum.  You cannot miss Larry the Log Roller, a 22+ foot fiberglass statue that underwent renovation after storm damage and was then unveiled.  Larry's towering presence sits next to the bandshell.
