The Central Park Bandshell had its opening celebration and first performance on July 4, 2009. Schuler Shook provided the theatre planning services and design of the lighting and rigging systems. This new state-of-the-art bandshell replaced the existing bandshell in Red Wing's historic Central Park.

The city's vision was to transform this underutilized park into Red Wing's "community living room." Light fixtures and a simple lighting control system have been provided to meet the performance needs of local troupes. Infrastructure, including additional power, truss rigging points, and cable sleeves were designed to meet the needs of large touring groups.
