Spokane Pavilion

The Central Gathering Place for the Spokane Region

Originally built as the U.S. Federal Pavilion for Expo '74, the Pavilion was a gift to Spokane from the United States government. The Master Plan aimed to restore the Pavilion into a flexible use event space able to host everything from the Hoopfest Nike Court game and the Bloomsday Award Ceremony to a summer concert series and an outdoor giant screen film festival.

Pavilion Light Shows

The dynamic lighting effects display an array of color, brightness, and patterns. Light shows will be displayed every weekend, year‑round, for all of Spokane to enjoy.
