HISTORY
The venue originally opened in August 1994 as the Harborlights Pavilion near Fan Pier. It was relocated and rebuilt at its current site, reopening on July 11, 1999 as the BankBoston Pavilion. The venue has cycled through multiple naming sponsors including FleetBoston, Bank of America, Blue Hills Bank, and Rockland Trust before Leader Bank acquired current naming rights.
