Bandshell Location and Parking Information

Parking in the immediate area can be a challenge; options include automated parking pay stations, a patron parking pass, some meters, and limited free street parking.

Bathrooms, drinking fountains, and concessions are all available at Lake Harriet Bandshell.

Come early to find seats on the benches directly in front of the bandshell or bring a blanket or lawn chairs and find a grassy area to relax as you listen to the music. Take time to pack your own picnic or purchase food and refreshments from the concession stands. There is a playground for the kids and there are walkways alongside the lake.
