Arnolds Park, IA (KICD)– The new stage on Preservation Plaza in Arnolds Park was opened for the first time over the weekend and in a very big way.

Arnolds Park Amusement Park CEO John Pausley tells KICD News the construction work on the new structure overlooking West Lake Okoboji is not quite finished, but it was to a point where it was at least functional for Saturday’s “LIVE At the Lake” show.

Despite the stage being usable, the site is still an active with construction which is expected to continue for least a few more weeks.

It is also worth noting that while is not uncommon to see large crowds around the Iowa Great Lakes Area in the summer, but the crowd for the Jake Owen concert likely shattered any top numbers from the past filling nearly every open spot on the green space and beyond after a private donor made it possible to have such a big show in the area.
