This riverfront stage is dedicated to Tom Wilson who initiated the Summer Festival in 1966 and who made this setting the focal point of the event. For 18 years he gave his service to this endeavor as chairman of the festival, guiding it successfully as a major celebration for the Paducah area. A veteran of World War II, Mr. Wilson served as mayor of Paducah from 1964 to 1967. For his special dedication to the City of Paduach, this stage is to be known as the Wilson Stage.
