Mike L. • January 25, 2015Always great bands playing here!

ExPlaceTO • September 11, 2015Modeled after the Hollywood Bowl, the Bandshell was built in 1936 at a cost of $47,000. It is still known for it's acoustic excellence. Many great bands have graced the bandshell stage!

Wes D. • September 21, 2010Try the Geary location instead.

Robbyn G. • June 1, 2016Entrance to this venue is not on Adelaide Street! If you don't see the small sign or flags, you'll miss it! Go around the corner onto Duncan Street to get in!
