The Band Shell facility represents a special model of community life. The State of Connecticut and its agency, Manchester Community College, provide the land, by a forty-year lease to the Town of Manchester. The building is owned by the Town and was built by private funds. The Band Shell Board of Directors manages the programming of the summer concerts and town fireworks. The college uses the band shell each year, weather permitting, for its commencement ceremony.
