BankNH Pavilion

Nestled on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, the BankNH Pavilion has evolved from its 1996 roots as a temporary stage into one of New England’s premier outdoor destinations. This open-air amphitheater offers a unique atmosphere where the natural beauty of the Lakes Region meets professional production. Fans enjoy performances under a permanent pavilion roof or from the spacious lawn, creating a setting that captures the quintessential spirit of a New Hampshire summer. While primarily a concert venue, the pavilion is a key stop for major comedy tours and festivals. The stage has hosted industry giants such as Bert Kreischer and "Weird Al" Yankovic, with upcoming schedules featuring stars like John Mulaney and Mike Birbiglia. For comedy fans, the BankNH Pavilion offers a rare chance to catch top-tier talent in a relaxed, lakeside environment that blends high-energy performances with scenic charm.
