The Hitchcock Memorial Bandstand, nestled in Geelong’s Johnstone Park, was built in 1926 as a classical rotunda to commemorate local citizens and celebrate community music. Its ornate columns and decorative detailing have framed decades of live performances, from brass and jazz bands to contemporary concerts.
A hub for civic events, festivals, and public gatherings, the bandstand continues to bring the community together, remaining an enduring symbol of Geelong’s musical heritage, vibrant cultural life, and pride in its shared public spaces.
