For over a hundred years, the enchanting Parkman Bandstand has graced the eastern side of Boston Common, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. This remarkable venue was brings to life by the skilled Derby, Robinson & Shephard, in 1912, a testament to the philanthropic spirit of George F. Parkman, whose generous donation was destined for the care of the city’s parks. As theAutumnal, colonial-themed puppet shows filled the bandstand with magic during the 1920s, it quickly became a beloved gathering spot, an inheritance it preserves even today. Recent years have seen the bandstand serve as the stage for the Boston Freedom Rally and a 2007 Presidential Primary rally, where both Barack Obama and Deval Patrick took the stage, inspiring their audiences with their impassioned speeches.
