The North Bandstand, sometimes called the Aerodrome was an open-air performance space that replaced the old bandstand in 1910.[1] Built in the northern end of the park,[2] between Fair Japan and the Whirlwind. It was a free attraction at the park.[3][4]
For the Fourth of July 1910, people on the grand stage of the band shell read round-by-round progress of the historic Jeffries-Johnson fight over a special wire run to the park for the event. Vaudeville and moving pictures were also shown that week.[5]
Free motion picture shows were shown at the band shell each evening in 1913.[6]
The North Bandstand was replaced with a Band Shell for the 1920 season.
