As demand for indoor event space continues to rise, the Fort Stockton Convention Center is encouraging organizers to consider the Hodges Pavilion as an alternative venue for upcoming events.
According to convention center officials, indoor availability is filling rapidly, prompting renewed attention to the outdoor pavilion, which was designed to support a wide range of public and private gatherings. The Hodges Pavilion offers an open-air setting while maintaining infrastructure typically associated with indoor venues.
The pavilion includes 10 food truck plug-ins, men’s and women’s restrooms, a production-ready stage, a ticket booth, and multiple gazebo and patio areas. The space is fully enclosed and landscaped, allowing it to accommodate concerts, festivals, markets, and community events while providing accessibility and utility connections for vendors and performers.
Located adjacent to the Fort Stockton Convention Center at 2181 Interstate 10 Service Road, the Hodges Pavilion functions as a complementary venue, giving event organizers flexibility when scheduling large or seasonal gatherings. Its design allows for crowd flow, staging, and vendor setup without the limitations of indoor floor plans.
City tourism and event officials have increasingly emphasized outdoor venues as interest grows in open-air experiences, particularly for events that benefit from flexible layouts and larger capacities. The Hodges Pavilion has been positioned to meet those needs while remaining connected to the convention center’s broader event infrastructure.
Organizers interested in hosting events at the pavilion are encouraged to coordinate directly with the Fort Stockton Convention Center for availability, logistics, and scheduling.
