Originally built as the U.S. Federal Pavilion for Expo '74, the Pavilion was a gift to Spokane from the United States government. As part of a visionary Master Plan, it has been revitalized into a dynamic event space, hosting a wide range of public and private gatherings. From concert and movie series to fitness events, Hoopfest Center Court, beer festivals, weddings, and corporate celebrations, the Pavilion is designed for flexibility and community engagement.
In March 2025, the City of Spokane’s Park Board approved a naming rights partnership with Gesa Credit Union. Now known as the Gesa Credit Union Pavilion, this 5,100-seat venue serves as a central hub for entertainment, cultural activities, and family-friendly events. The 10-year partnership marks Gesa's first sponsorship of an iconic Spokane landmark, reinforcing its dedication to supporting the city’s vibrant community.
