Vincennes City officials are hoping Saturday’s 1st ever Bandshell Bash is the return of something big.

City Council President Tim Salters says that part of the all day outdoor music event’s purpose is to bring back excitement about the bandshell which he calls a hidden gem in Vincennes.

Churches and groups do utilize the bandshell throughout the year, but this is the first time in a long time that a community wide, free day of music has happened at Gregg Park…

Salters says some shirt sale proceeds and some donations from on site food trucks will be given to help upgrade the bandshell.

The first band takes the stage at 11-am and bands will play throughout the day and evening until 11-pm.
