Mežaparks Great Bandstand, Open-air performance stage in Mežaparks, Latvia.

The Mežaparks Great Bandstand spans over 146,400 square meters and features a spectator field with 30,557 seats plus standing room for 50,000 additional visitors.

The original structure was constructed in 1955 under the guidance of architects V. Schnitnikov, G. Irbite, and K. Dannenhirsha as a permanent cultural venue.

The venue offers multiple rental spaces including a choral bandstand, spectator areas with pergola, and outdoor facilities managed by the Culture Association of Northern Riga.

The structure incorporates 300 acoustic shields and a protective membrane system to enhance sound quality while protecting performers from weather conditions.
