The ribbon cutting was held at 11:30 am at Kamm Island Park, 600 W Front Street.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new Kamm Island Pavillion serves as the City of Mishawaka\u2019s first permanent stage, costing just under $500,000. Mayor Dave Wood states that a significant portion of the pavilions funding was donated through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayor Wood shares that the Kamm Island Pavillion design is inspired by the rich Mishawaka history. The stage takes inspiration from the former Tribe-O-Rea Drugstore that once stood at the corner of Byrkit and Lincolnway. Mayor Wood also states that the signage and other visual elements surrounding the drugstore inspired the final product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only was the Kamm Island Pavillion inspired by Tribe-O-Rea, but the Pavillion was named and dedicated in the honor of previous Mishawaka Mayor, Jeff Rea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m really humbled by this.\u201d states Rea. \u201cBecause it wasn\u2019t about me. It was about our team who worked really hard to do better for Mishawaka. I\u2019m really grateful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Kamm Island Pavilion represents another investment in the City of Mishawaka&#8217;s commitment to improving the City\u2019s quality of life. By honoring Mishawaka&#8217;s rich history while recognizing the contributions of former Mayor Jeff Rea, the Pavilion stands as a lasting symbol of the City&#8217;s appreciation for its past and its continued vision for the future.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The City of Mishawaka celebrated the ribbon cutting and grand reveal of the new outdoor Kamm Island Pavilion on Tuesday, July 14th, 2026.
