Background: The Levitt Foundation has committed to long-term support of the development and operation of the Levitt Shell outdoor performance venue for which construction begins in spring 2018 at the current location of Falls Park West.
The Levitt Foundation's investment in communities across the country requires a partnership with a local non-profit organization and municipal government. In Sioux Falls, that partnership is with the Friends of Levitt Shell Sioux Falls and the City's Parks and Recreation Department.
