ASHWAUBENON – The Village of Ashwaubenon will receive a $50,000 Vibrant Spaces Grant from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to build a permanent outdoor venue for music and outdoor events at Klipstine Park.
The new bandshell will serve as a venue for events such as the Ashwaubenon Summer Concert Series.
Across Wisconsin, twenty-seven communities will share in more than $1.1 million in grants from WEDC.
The grants are designed to help create new public spaces like downtown plazas, trailheads and bandshells.
“People want to live and work in thriving communities and offerings like parks, trailheads, and town squares create places for people to gather and hold events as well as boost nearby businesses and improve quality of life,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC. “Creating vibrant communities is the foundation of economic development.”
The Ashwaubenon Summer Concert Series runs June 11 through July 30 this year, 11:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.
The free outdoor concert series features live music and food supplied by community non-profit organizations.
In the event of rain, concerts are held at the Ashwaubenon Community Center.
