Panhandle bandshell, made of recycled parts, set to open

A temporary bandshell for acoustic performances in Golden Gate Park Panhandle will have its grand opening celebration Saturday. Made of used car hoods, computer circuit panels and plastic water bottles, the bandshell was created by the Black Rock Arts Foundation, funded in part by a $50,000 grant from the San Francisco Department of the Environment.

Located just west of the Clayton Street crossing, the bandshell will be up until Sept. 10. Saturday’s debut event will start at noon and feature kids and family-oriented programming, including music and dance.
