Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion

BankNH Pavilion in Gilford has become the center of art, culture and community in New Hampshire.

With over 9,000 seats available to music lovers from across the world, Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion stands as one of the greatest outdoor venues in the region. Evolving from a humble origin as a grass field venue on a tree farm, the pavilion has since become northern New England’s premier summer concert venue. The venue’s comfortable space and the world-class acts it attracts has even earned it honors in USA Today as one of their 10 Best Concert Venues Across the USA, with several nominations from the magazine’s peers. The outdoor amphitheater has even gained recognition for adaption, as the venue changed names twice to reflect its evolving focus, direction, and place in New Hampshire’s music scene.

Featuring a large, open space beside Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, each event is enhanced with beautiful views of the natural landscape. But beyond the stage, there’s plenty to explore in Gilford and the surrounding area too.

With stunning areas of natural beauty like Ellacoya State Park close by and a range of restaurants including The Breeze and Country Cook’n – you’ll find everything you need to make your trip to BankNH Pavilion a memorable experience.
