Historic Open Air Pavilion
This breathtaking open air shelter is the showpiece of Forest Park. Located atop Government Hill, the World’s Fair Pavilion holds one of the most dramatic views of Forest Park. Steeped in history, this 5,500 square foot venue was built in 1909 with proceeds from the 1904 World’s Fair. Recently, it underwent a $1.1 million renovation to give it all the amenities of a modern space.
The World’s Fair Pavilion provides a picturesque setting for weddings, company picnics, private receptions and galas on a grand scale. The space accommodates seated dinners up to 500 guests and cocktail receptions up to 1,000 guests. Begin creating your event today by contacting Butler’s Pantry.
