The Bemus Bay Pops Orchestra first played on The Italian Fisherman Restaurant's roof on Labor Day 1998.

The Floating Stage was built in 2003 and now has live performances by world-class musicians every week during the summer. The Floating Stage is located on the Bemus Bay , which allows viewers to watch performances from land or boat.

We're continuing a tradition that began on the roof of the Italian Fisherman, and has seen audiences climb to over 15,000 on the shore and in more than 600 boats rafted together in the Bemus Bay .

The Floating Stage is made possible by the generous collaboration of Pepsi, KeyBank, Nationwide, Arthur R. Gren, M&T Bank, Marty and Sandra Coyle, Community Bank, N.A., Bemus Point United Methodist Church , Brown and Brown Insurance, SE-93, Wegmans, Italian Fisherman, and many other community-minded sponsors .
