Live at the Shell

Live at the Shell Live at The Shell is dedicated to the reactivation and revitalization of The Shell at Rec Park, a Long Beach landmark since 1929.

In coordination with and support from Partners of Parks, Friends of Recreation Park Bandshell (FORPBS) is a non-profit foundation dedicated to bringing back consistent use of the Recreation Park Bandshell as a venue for performance arts including live music and theater. Our goal is to revitalize this under-used, historic landmark and bring back regularly schedule events, focused on local talent an

d the involvement of our communityโ€™s youth. With support from local business and private donations, we also intend to renovate and maintain the Bandshell so that it can serve as a cultural gathering place for years to come.
