The new bandshell for La Crosse’s Riverside Park is taking shape.

Cranes were brought to the park, early Friday, to move logs into place around the newly-remodeled concrete bandstand.

The logs form the frame of a natural canopy that will be completed around Nov. 1.

Construction of the canopy has been years in the planning for supporters of live concerts along the riverfront.
