The bandstand was dedicated originally in June of 1912. Marburger says the bandstand was erected along with the four arches in the park as a public works project funded by the City of Humboldt. (play audio :17)
The bandstand is a large structure, which occupies a prominent position in the Square Park. According to Marburger, 50-tons of concrete was used in its construction.
The bandstand anniversary celebration coincides with Memorial Day. Marburger says they wanted people who come to Humboldt for Memorial Day to be able to also partake in the bandstand anniversary.
