Iconic Camden, NJ Venue – Freedom Mortgage Pavilion

Freedom Mortgage Pavilion History

Since 1995, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion has been the Philadelphia area’s premier indoor-outdoor venue. Located on New Jersey’s Camden Waterfront across the river from Philly, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion has a capacity of 25,000 during the summer concert season, while its fully enclosed indoor configuration can hold up to 7,000. Freedom Mortgage Pavilion’s former names include BB&T Pavilion, Blockbuster-Sony Music Entertainment Centre, Tweeter Center and Susquehanna Bank Center.

Freedom Mortgage Pavilion Performers

In June 1995, Freedom Mortgage Pavilion (then known as the E-Centre) threw a grand opening celebration featuring the music of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. The venue has since hosted concerts across the spectrums of popular and classical music, and it’s been the site for radio-station-sponsored festivals like WMMR’s MMR*B*Q and WXPN’s XPoNential.

Planning Your Visit to Freedom Mortgage Pavilion

At 1 Market St. in Camden, the family-owned Victor’s Pub offers burgers and cheesesteaks as well as Italian-influenced specialties, and the same block is home to Fevzi’s Mediterranean Grill, Market Street Pizzeria, and Fresh Mex. If you’re coming to the pavilion via the RiverLink Ferry, you’ll be right near Old City, one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant neighborhoods — National Mechanics (22 S. 3rd St.) serves up innovative bar food in a hulking old bank, Han Dynasty (123 Chestnut St.) keeps its Sichuan kitchen open late, and Amada (217-219 Chestnut St.) is a tapas joint helmed by Iron Chef Jose Garces.
