Bandstand

A bandstand is a covered or open structure designed for outdoor musical performances, often located in parks, gardens, or public spaces. It typically features a stage for musicians to perform and may have decorative elements like columns or a domed roof. Bandstands provide a dedicated, visually appealing venue that allows communities to enjoy live music in a communal setting. Historically popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they continue to symbolize outdoor entertainment and social gathering, fostering a lively atmosphere while protecting performers and audiences from the elements.
