In 1986, the Belvedere in Riverfront Park was constructed north of what was then the Excelsior Hotel. It was built in commemoration of the sesquicentennial of Arkansas’ statehood. In keeping with its historical origins, it contains the names of longtime businesses and organizations in the city. This small, concrete gazebo-like structure serves as a performance space for all kinds of instrumental music. Though originally programmed by the City of Little Rock with more classical and traditional instrumental music groups, recent years have seen it as a favorite spot for garage bands and local musicians seeking an outdoor performance space. It can be rented for $50.00.
