The large gazebo located on the southwest lawn of the 'Iolani Palace grounds is the Coronation Stand or Coronation Pavilion. It was built for the February 12, 1883 coronation of King Kalakaua and Queen Kapiolani. It was moved to this location from its original site near the King Street steps of 'Iolani Palace.
The Royal Hawaiian Band regularly gives concerts near the Coronation Pavilion. It has also been used for the inauguration of the Governors of the State of Hawaii (although not for Hawaii's current governor Linda Lingle). On many afternoons you will find Hawaiian music artists performing on the grounds nearby.
