The Whitefish Lions Club is sponsoring a proposal to build a permanent stage in Whitefish’s Depot Park.  

The group of approximately 25 supporters is made up of Whitefish Lions Club members, business owners, and people invested in the performing arts. 

“The Stage at Depot Park” aims to shelter performers during events. The preliminary rendering shows a potential location. The exact details are not yet determined.  

There is a survey available to gather community members’ feedback on the initiative. People are encouraged to take the survey by June 6. The survey is online at: surveymonkey.com/r/RZ2JYM6
