Opera House Outdoors May 16, 2025

Join us for Opera House Outdoors on Friday, May 16 in the 600 block of Franklin Street in Pella, Iowa.

Headlining this year’s event is ONE NIGHT OF QUEEN, sponsored by Pella Corporation as part of their Centennial Celebration! One Night Of Queen is touring throughout the US in 2025 and bringing their celebrated show to Opera House Outdoors for one night only! Their performance begins around 8 pm.

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 rock to our favorite playlists while we set up for the next set!
