The Lake Eola Bandshell celebrates 100 years

Everyone say “Happy Birthday” to the Lake Eola Band Shell! Constructed in 1924, this iconic landmark, has stood as a symbol of cultural vibrancy in Orlando for 100 years. Initially designed by architects Isabel Roberts and Ida Annah Ryan, the original bandshell, though smaller, was a bustling hub for musical events in the early 1900s. 

Over the years, the Lake Eola Bandshell has witnessed significant transformations, evolving into the state-of-the-art Lake Eola Amphitheater we know and love today. The centennial celebration marks a century of hosting outdoor concerts, serving as a backdrop for countless photo ops, and contributing to the beauty of Orlando. May the next hundred years bring even more concerts and community spirit to this cherished landmark in DTO!
