The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion accommodates more than 16,000 guests at its performances. It presents approximately 75 events every March through November. The performances run the gamut including rock, classic, jazz, country, and ballet.
2008 looks to be another strong year for the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion as it is anticipating strong ticket sales from its upcoming acts of Moody Blues, Rush, and Avril Lavigne. If you have never experienced a performance at this venue, you are missing out on a great atmosphere.
My husband and I attended a Norah Jones performance at this venue and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We found FREE parking that was only a 10 minute walk to the Pavilion. The acoustics were terrific. And to top it all off, after the concert we were able to quickly get out of the parking lot and we arrived back to our Spring Texas home in 20 minutes.
