Time is flying by!

It’s time for Sister Sadie (April 26). This band was Grammy-nominated for Best Bluegrass Album of the Year in January! And now they’re on our stage at the Pella Opera House! Seats are still available. We hope you’ll join us for this fantastic show! Tulip Time will be here before you know it! We’ve got Brad and Kate, The Reluctant Pioneer, our historic Barton Theatre Organ Concert and the PHS Choral Showcase for you at Tulip Time.

Announcing OPERA HOUSE OUTDOORS! Coming on Friday, May 16!! This year’s headliner is the amazing One Night Of Queen, sponsored by Pella Corporation as part of their Centennial Celebration.

In addition to One Night Of Queen, the music starts at 4 pm with singer/songwriter Robbie Michael, followed at 5:30 by Dutch Front Band. In between bands, the street will still rock to our favorite playlists while we set up for the next set!

The 600 block of Franklin Street will be closed throughout the day on Friday, May 16 but still accessible to foot traffic with businesses open for shopping and eating. There will be a large fenced area on Franklin Street where individuals who are 21 and older may enter after purchasing a wristband and enjoy alcoholic beverages. Individuals who are 21 and older may begin purchasing wristbands in advance online at www.PellaOperaHouse.org for $10. On the day of the event, wristbands will be $15 each and may be purchased beginning at 8 am at The Bread Board and at 1 pm at the Pella Opera House. Advance sale of wristbands may only be picked up at the Pella Opera House on the afternoon of May 16 with ID for each wristband wearer. 

On East First Street, between Franklin and the alley, there will be food trucks available from 4 pm into the evening. Individuals should bring lawn chairs to sit inside or outside of the fence. There is no charge to enjoy the music from outside the fence, however donations to the Pella Opera House are greatly appreciated.
