MAYVILLE — After being forced to cancel a show last week due to the lack of a state permit, the 2021 Chautauqua Lake Pops concert season “is a go.”

The New York State Office of General Services on Friday issued organizers a temporary permit. The Pops, a series of concerts performed on a floating stage at Lakeside Park in Mayville, will now kick off the season Saturday with a Journey tribute band beginning at 8 p.m.

Shows are scheduled to be held each Saturday through Sept. 4.

Dan Dalpra, founder and chairman, said the temporary permit will allow the concert season to go on for the duration of this summer. He thanked local representatives who helped, including State Assemblyman Andrew Goodell, R-Jamestown, and County Executive PJ Wendel.

“We’re delighted to be up and running,” Dalpra said. “Thanks to everyone who helped as it was so devastating to have a season planned and then have to alter things.”

The Chautauqua Lake Pops originated in Bemus Point and was moved to Mayville in 2019. Due to the pandemic, there were no shows in 2020.
