The <br />Pavilion is temporarily closed. <br />The Pavilion, inaugurated for the summer concert series in 2003, has a deep <br />history in Louisville. It was fashioned from the structure of a barn located in the <br />Steinbaugh lumberyard. <br />During the closure, the Louisville Street Faire and Louisville Farmer's Market has <br />continued along Front Street. A mobile stage was set up in front of the Louisville <br />Public Library for the June 21 and June 28 shows. <br />Kurt Kowar, director of public works for Louisville, said the city has spent <br />approximately $25,000 to stabilize the structure for the summer season, by <br />reinforcing the trusses. But another $25,000-$35,000 will be needed to stabilize it <br />for the winter season and other future uses. <br />The Pavilion also hosts the Old Town Skate ice rink throughout the winter season. <br />
