Bandstand Revival
A legacy of the City of Orillia's 150th birthday celebrations in 2017, the Bandstand Revival brings music back to this historic site for four enchanted summer evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10, July 24, August 7 and August 21. This year's line-up is once again inspired by the feature films at the Aqua Theatre's Movies in the Park.

Sunday Evening Band Concerts
The Orillia Parks, Recreation and Culture Department is pleased to announce its 2019 line-up. In its 41st season, the Sunday Evening Band Concert Series brings the big band sounds of the region's top bands to the scenic beach area of Lake Couchiching.
Concerts are free to the public, though donations are welcome and used to help offset the cost of the bands.
The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department is grateful to the Champlain Seniors Service Club for their help in organizing this popular Orillia tradition.
