Buena Vista Chamber of Commerce Announces McPhelemy Stage Project

Posted By: Terry West May 17, 2022

For several months now, a diverse collection of community groups have been meeting to support the
construction of the new McPhelemy Park Stage.

The goal is to build an elevated and covered performing arts facility in the northern section of the park that the entire community will be able to enjoy for years to come.

Last year, the Town budget supported funds for designing and implementing such a structure. Recreation Special Projects Manager, Earl Richmond, is helping guide the effort to meet procedural and process requirements as the project continues.

The stage design has a “mountain-contemporary” look and offers a performance area of 15’ x 27’. It is 12’ high with steel and wood beams being the primary design materials. Electrical services will be brought to the stage to enhance the experience for both spectators and performers.

The BV Public Library, BVEC, Chaffee County Fine Arts, and local performers are all in great support of this project. With the support of the Town of BV and the BV Chamber of Commerce, the effort to raise the additional funds necessary to build the stage is set to begin!
