Happy 4th of July from the Chautauqua Lake Pops!

Music matters .. now, more than ever.

In 2019, the Chautauqua Lake Pops brought music and movies to a new location on the lake.  That location was Mayville, New York.  The slogan was .. Make It Mayville.

When Dan Dalpra and his wife, Sue sold the Italian Fisherman in Bemus Point in 2017 they had no intention of giving up the floating stage that had hosted live music every summer for 20 amazing  years.  At that time they just hadn't quite worked out where it might be re-located on the lake. 

"Then Mayville stepped forward" said Dan.  The town that sits on the North end of the lake wanted to use the stage for a summer concert series. "They had this magnificent waterfront.  It's a perfect spot to get re-established.  It will be a major stimulation to the community itself."

The stage will float behind the historic train depot offering space for hundreds more to enjoy the concerts then the previous location.  Dalpra said he has 26 live tribute acts lined up to perform. There are also six free movie nights sprinkled throughout the concert season.

The article above was written by Jennie Geisler and posted on GoErie.com June 27, 2019.  As editor of the Chautauqua Lake Pops blog I wanted to share it to remind my readers what was written about a great concert series 2 years ago and how important it is to continue this concert series, again, in 2021.

Please continue to show your support by adding your name to the online petition link. The photo above is the beautiful God Bless America banner that proudly hangs from the floating stage in Mayville today .. just as it did in 2020.  

Music matters .. now, more than ever.

Ground-Breaking Ceremony for The Lodge in Mayville

At noon, June 30 the Village of Mayville witnessed the Webb family, elected officials and business partners participate in the ceremonial gold shovel ground-breaking to officially make way for The Lodge being built at 74 Water Street by the Webb family.

Dan Dalpra, good friend of the late Jim Webb, gives a thumbs up to the project as Sally Webb, Amy Webb, Ben Webb and their children Teagan and Cord Webb take part in this special moment for the family, for the community and for the region.

The development will include 54 luxury condominiums with construction scheduled to be completed by late Spring 2022. 

Congratulations to all involved with The Lodge project being built near the historic train depot and the Chautauqua Lake Pops location.  Jim Webb and the entire Webb family have been strong supporters of the Pops through the years and especially since its relocation to Mayville in 2019.
