The structure is more than 100 years old.
"We have this incredible outdoor access here, it is unlike other larger cities, so for us to essentially have a concert venue in one of our historic Downtown parks in the heart of the city will be both impactful for our residents and our local musicians to perform," said Michelle Winchell with the Downtown Partnership of Colorado Springs.
A summer concert series will take place at the bandshell every Thursday starting June 4. It'll continue through September.
