The Mishawaka Amphitheatre, or the ‘Mish’ as it is lovingly referred to by locals, is a popular music venue located in the beautiful Poudre Canyon in Bellvue. The venue has a long history that dates back to 1916 when musician Walter S. Thompson stumbled on the area while riding his motorcycle.
Thompson decided to bring his dance hall dreams to life and began construction of the Mishawaka Dance Hall by hand.
