The Chautauqua Lake Pops is a series of outdoor concert events of historic proportions, featuring world-class musicians from the Chautauqua Region as well as national acts featured on our Floating Stage on the splendid Chautauqua Lake . Every weekend all summer long we provide a variety of entertainment such as music concerts including classical, swing, jazz, Country and modern. During the weekday
s throughout the summer we have events like the Lake Night at the Movies, hilarious comedy troupes, and so much more! A creation of Dan and Sue Dalpra, owners of the Italian Fisherman Restaurant in Bemus Point, NY, they wanted to celebrate Labor Day by having the Bemus Bay Pops Orchestra perform a concert on the roof of the Italian Fisherman. In 1998, the inaugural year of the event, they had great success as they attracted an estimated 4,000 people who gathered for the concert on the lawns, decks and water of the Bemus Bay. In 2003 the summer concert season was expanded and instead of just one major concert which took place on Labor Day, the Bemus Bay Pops summer concert series extended to concert performances Saturdays and Sundays with the new addition of the Floating Stage
concert venue. Over the last 20 years - The Chautauqua Lake Pops Concert Series has evolved to World Class proportions to include world class acts of all kinds and attracting a wide variety of audiences. There's something for everyone - from Love on the Lake to Lake Night at The Movies, Nationally acclaimed concerts featuring only the best musical entertainment in the country and so much more!
