The pavilion stands 120-feet high, with a billowing "headdress" of stainless steel ribbons that frame the proscenium opening. The pavilion connects to an overhead trellis of crisscrossing steel pipes that define the lawn seating area. The Pavilion has 4,000 fixed seats and capacity for an additional 7,000 people on the lawn. With its open-air "acoustical canopy", the Jay Pritzker Pavilion is among the most technologically advanced outdoor concert venues in the world, with digital innovations and enhanced sound, designed to create an unforgettable listening experience.

The Jay Pritzker Pavilion is the permanent home of the Grammy-Nominated Grant Park Orchestra and Chorus. The Grant Park Music Festival is the nations only free classical music festival and it takes place here each Summer.
