    West Park Bandshell in Ann Arbor leaves lasting legacy
    John Stockwell
    There is a rich history at the West Park Bandshell in Ann Arbor. The deteriorating venue has been closed since 2021 and is likely to be demolished but the memories will remain. WEMU’s John Stockwell takes you on a historical journey of the Bandshell, with recollections of local and national performers that used the venue to entertain and create community.
