Murray Seasongood Pavilion, Cincinnati

Tucked into the natural amphitheater of Eden Park, the Murray Seasongood Pavilion is one of Cincinnati's most beloved open-air venues for concerts, plays, festivals, and community gatherings. With sweeping views of the Ohio River and the distant hills of Kentucky, this public pavilion combines scenic charm with civic spirit, making it a go-to destination for locals and visitors alike.

Dedicated in 1960 as a gift to the city from Martha S. Stern, the Seasongood Pavilion is the fourth bandstand to grace Eden Park since the park's musical tradition began in 1872. It carries the name of Murray Seasongood, a forward-thinking lawyer, reformist politician, and Cincinnati鈥檚 first mayor under the modern charter system (serving from 1926 to 1930). Inspired by Cleveland鈥檚 Emerald Necklace park system, Seasongood championed the creation of Cincinnati鈥檚 county park board鈥攁 legacy that still shapes the city鈥檚 green spaces today.

Far more than just a structure of concrete, the pavilion pulses with life, especially during its free musical programs that draw in Cincinnatians of all ages. Whether you're catching a live jazz band, participating in a neighborhood event, or simply lounging with a book under the sun, the Seasongood Pavilion is a space designed for community, creativity, and relaxation.

Open to the public and available for scheduled events, it has become a cherished venue for photo shoots, cultural performances, and those spontaneous moments of local talent. Whether you're after music, nature, or a sense of belonging, Seasongood Pavilion delivers鈥攁 perfect blend of civic history, modern leisure, and scenic serenity.
