The 2,350-square-foot outdoor facility will be able to entertain between 1,500 and 2,000 people, according to the city. Spectators will sit in a grass bowl around the stage for better viewpoints. The structure includes a dressing room and restroom for performers, storage area and electrical room.

A grand opening celebration is scheduled April 9.
