Freedom Mortgage Pavilion Unveils Massive 2026 Concert Lineup
Sure, it's the middle of January and it's rather dreary outside, but if you want to be a bit optimistic, summer really isn't that far away and that means summertime concerts are right around the corner.
One of the best venues to see an outdoor show in South Jersey is right on the waterfront in Camden at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion.
It's hard to believe that the venue has been there for nearly 31 years. Perhaps you remember going there when it opened in the summer of 1995 when it was the Sony Blockbuster Entertainment Center. Over the years, it's changed its name several times -- the Tweeter Center, BB&T Pavilion, and the Waterfront Music Pavilion. But regardless of what you call it, the venue is fantastic.
