Gowrie is a great place to live, work and play!

Betty Nyght Hamilton Bandshell sits proudly in City Park. The original bandshell, built in 1916, was lost to the ravages of time in 1990. In 1996, with a vision for reviving the past and building on a strong musical history, the bandshell was rebuilt. On June 27, the new bandshell was dedicated during a concert that featured internationally-famous bass baritone Simon Estes performing with the Gowrie Community Band & Chorus. A crowd of 10,000 gathered in Gowrie for a magical evening that has been described as Hometown Renaissance. The Gowrie Arts Council continues to host a summer concert series beginning in June each year that features local talent alongside performers from Iowa and beyond.
