Col. Battle Barksdale Parade Ground

Private Event Rentals

Adjacent to US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center, the Col. Battle Barksdale Parade Ground is a stunning 24,000-square-foot multi-purpose, outdoor space that creates an impressive and unifying courtyard venue. 
 
Included with your rental of the Parade Ground is the option for an exclusive showing of Expressions of America, a first-of-its-kind nighttime sound and light experience celebrating the power of individual Americans to impact the world around them during a time of monumental conflict. Expressions of America immerses audiences in written words, songs, and personal reflections of the everyday men and women who served our country in every way imaginable during World War II.
