Fraze Pavilion Reviews

Great sounding venue, the staff is friendly but the rules are strict.

Nice small venue with good name talent. Seating is ampitheatre style and my only complaint is it's not quite steep enough so if you are behind a taller person views can be challenging. I'm 6'2" and was sitting/standing behind a guy who was probably 6'4" maybe 6'5" and I had a hard time seeing and I know the gal behind me had trouble seeing because of my height.

Great atmosphere, great a acoustics. They have lawn, orchestra and pit seating. The latter two have actual assigned seats. However, none of the seating is covered by an overhang.

FYI no purses bigger than 12x12x6 are allowed to be brought into the venue. This became an issue for my date.

Very busy..lots of people but service was pretty good.

Love going out to the Fraze for special events, it's a very beautiful area.

Was so excited to see a show here. Paid $370.00 for two tickets in the second row on the left side. I wasn't able to see the show. I bought the tickets through the Fraze website and they didn't say it would be a blocked view. I asked if I could stand in the isle to see the show, so did others in my section, very forcefully we were told to go back to our seats- no exceptions. The security there is insane. I saw a man get removed from the show in the front row for jumping too much, the security guard told him to stop, he didn't, got mouthy and was removed by police. If we moved 10 inches from our seat they told us to stay in our seat. NOT A PLACE TO SEE A ROCK SHOW. They seriously need to review the manner of politeness to patrons. Customers were treated terribly. I got to about 3 shows a month - never seen anything like this... Below are my $370.00 seats. If you're going, just get lawn seats.

Visited an art show at the park. Very nice show. Very nice park.

We always have a nice time at the Fraze. There isn't a bad seat in the place.

Nice place but my bag was 1 inch bigger than permitted so I had to return to my car. Wasn't happy about.

Be it with concerts or food events, the Fraze is always perfect for a fun night out with family and friends.

The chicken wing Festival to me is overrated a dollar per wing ding come on now really trying to break people's pockets

Easily the worst place you could go to see a show. How can an outdoor venue have sectional seating? Also, just sitting I have witnessed multiple people kicked out for dancing.. If creating a no fun atmosphere was what they were aiming for I would give them 5/5. It s an embarrassment to call this a music venue.

The concert was well managed and the Ringo Starr all star band was great!!!

Wow. Beautiful venue for a concert. Bought the highest price seats. Great location but they were plain old plastic, uncomfortable folding chairs. They need to improve on that some way.

Always a nice way to spend an afternoon, or see a good concert. Go Ringo!

The way the handicap parking was managed needs to be changed. My mother was harassed by traffic behind our car to drop her off for Earth Wind and Fire when she was obviously handicapped. We were 45 minutes early and there was no parking for us. Time to upgrade seating and add in a parking garage.

Always a fun place. It was pretty crowded this night. That night a girl fight broke out behind us and knocked a friend off the ledge. The girl that cause the altercation left quickly our friend had to get surgery on hand and wrist. Shame some can't get a long.

Beautiful place. Every seat is good. We had a great time even though it rained on us the entire concert.

Annoying amount of rules, ok lawn seats, no cover for sun or rain

Very nice place, city does a nice job at putting g on concerts

I've seen 'Jim Gaffigan' perform stand-up (in the rain), and I've seen the 'The Menus' cover band, twice. The staff is always kind and courteous. Outside of the Fraze Pavilion, there is a beautiful park with a fishable pond. I would recommend checking out local events here!

A great venue. Great view even from the cheap seats!

It is a neat Park area with concerts and themes through out the year.

Went for a concert and it was very confusing where we were supposed to line up for our section. What was true at one security station wasn't true at the next. This place is basically treated like a public park but the RRs are never open.

Bacon fest, show up early as the vendors sell out quickly

Went for the chicken wing festival. This is a nice venue for this type of activity. It has some seating, but bring your own chairs. Good set up to walk around to different vendors and eat while listening to the live music.

Great music and fun, but the some of the staffing has issues. "Security" team is a bit unhappy and quite unfriendly. Regularly angry at patrons that don't have pre-knowledge of the process. The concession stand staff seem to struggle as well. Maybe through no fault of their own. I.E. I ordered 2 glasses of wine and they refused to put them together in one larger glass for easier handling, because management counts plastic cups.

Great local Kettering OH. pavilion that plays host to music concerts, car shows, food fests, etc. Lots of activities from early spring to late fall. Always something for everyone during the year. Check out their website for events and times.

Nice venue, but the beer lines sucked. And we had 10th row, but its flat so we couldnt aee

Went to The Menus concert on Friday night and the Bacon Fest on Saturday! Both were great events!

Love the variety of venues and events that are held there. It's a shame that you can no longer sit on the grass outside and listen but you can still hangout at the pond or Park and listen

Absolutely beautiful venue! Parking is a bit hectic however, the park & pavilion make up for any parking difficulties. Baconfest was fabulous!!!

Went to Art on the Commons at the Fraze.So many wonderful ,talented people selling their wares.I especially like wood,then ceramic or pottery items.Found some really unique wooden (made from old found trees) bird houses ,feeders, fairy garden decor and ornaments all made from old trees.The weather was great and the crowd was large.There were also 4-5 food trucks.If you like art in many forms,I suggest you go to next years Art on the Commons, the venue is beautiful.

Always the best experience going tothis music venue!The volunteers are always very warm and welcoming upon arrival.Upon exiting tey are there to thank you for coming,and wishing a good nite to all.
The venue is in a park setting with meticulously kept grounds.Parking is easy,ticket prices are fair.THIS OFFERING IS A WIN-WIN SITUATION IN MY BOOK.I'VE BEEN COMING FOR A GOOD 10 YRS!

Have visited the fraze many times for work and as a guest. The staff here are super helpful and the Fraze is always nice and clean.

Besides them being particular about purse/bag sizes the Fraze is Awesome!!! I understand security purposes but I think some of the guidelines are a little far fetched especially when it involves a child's bag/back pack!

I have always Fraze but it is need of a refresh and could use some new acts again.

The Women's Wellness Walk was very interesting an I really enjoyed it.

Waited in line to get in was Too long of a wait there. Hottest day of year !

I loved this place! Small and super clean! Real restrooms! It's in the middle of a beautiful park as well. You can hear the concert music from anywhere in the venue.

Great venue! When the weather cooperates the concerts and festivals are a blast!

It's a beautiful place, but on Friday night, with the threat of severe weather. The show was canceled. But it was for the safety of the crowd.

Hands down my favorite venue for concerts!
Large enough to attract big name performers, yet small enough that every seat has a good view and not that far away.
The grounds are beautiful and make you feel like you re in the little cozy place. They had three FREE concerts for their 25th Anniversary just to give back!
Grand Funk were one of the free performances we seen.
You must check this place out! You will be back! Easy access before and after. It always brings a smile to my face every time I visit!

Always fun to arrive here. Especially during the holiday at home event.

Black Violins. It was a wonderful concert. Not the typical music presentation.

Beautiful venue. Smoke free. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which has not always been my experience with concert venues. Due to the layout, it's very hard to get less than satisfactory seats.

Went to the 2019 Bacon Festival it was a blast the whole staff was very polite and caring this place is a great place to enjoy your family and friends I will be back 5 stars for for me totally awesome place

Best beer cheese and pretzels!! Thoroughly enjoyed Black Violin.

Love this venue for music. Easy parking, good selection of drinks and food and fantastic outdoor pavilion to watch great music.

There's always security where you have a bag or no bag line. I suggest you don't bring a bag, for faster entery.

Dated aesthetics that make me nostalgic of childhood, perfectly functional and well organized venue... What more can you ask for?

Awesome venue. The staff A+ . I am looking forward to seeing more shows at the Fraze.

Very nice place. We saw Bad Company 8/3/19. Only issue here is it needs more restrooms...

Went to the Bacon Fest . Had a great time , free event, great bands and lots of bacon!! Didn't have any trouble finding parking. Will definitely attend more events here.

Great place to go catch a show. Big enough to draw smaller but known artist, but still comfortable and not too huge and Hassel of a large venue.

It rained and lightning shut down the show. But, what we did see we enjoyed immensely!
