The bandstand is a large structure, which occupies a prominent position in the Square Park. According to Marburger, 50-tons of concrete was used in its construction.
The bandstand anniversary celebration coincides with Memorial Day. Marburger says they wanted people who come to Humboldt for Memorial Day to be able to also partake in the bandstand anniversary.
