The Perth Band Stand
"The bandstand has been behind the Town Hall since it was moved there in 1901 and free summer concerts have taken place there ever since.
The Perth Citizens Band, still giving concerts on the band stand behind City Hall, is a tradition dating back over 150 years. The band is Canada's oldest active town band. The Perth Citizens Band played "The Maple Leaf Forever" as the Mammoth Cheese departed to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893."
