Three-year project renovated and repainted Bandshell and associated structures, also added seating and upgraded landscaping
A project to repair and improve the Lake Harriet Bandshell area is scheduled to wrap up by the end of 2025.
The final phase – replacing the roofs on the boat launch building and picnic shelter – is scheduled to be complete by the end of December, barring major complications from inclement weather.
Renovating the Bandshell area was a complex construction project coordinated around the popular Music and Movies series, as well as other major events and concessions that take place seasonally. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board appreciates the public’s patience while this iconic regional park destination is repaired.
Previous phases included repairing the Bandshell and its concessions building, repainting all of the area buildings blue, and sprucing up the space with new gardens and seating.
Please stay away from areas under construction, follow onsite signs, and do not move, climb or go around fences.
