The Grandview Park Music Pavilion is a music and events pavilion in Sioux City, Iowa, built in the Streamline Moderne style with a distinctive shell structure.

The building was erected during a federal public works program in the 1930s and opened in 1934. Its construction with modern materials and contemporary design made it a symbol of artistic progress in the city.
The pavilion served as a home for local musical groups and remains a venue where visitors can experience live performances. The curved forms of its front reflect the city's historical pride in its musical culture.
The pavilion is located in Grandview Park and is best reached on foot or by car, with parking available nearby. Visit on days when events or concerts are scheduled to experience the interior and acoustics at their best.
The pavilion was designed by Henry Kamphoefner, an architect who later became a leading figure in modern architecture. This early work displays the elegant proportions and forward-thinking design ideas that would define his later career.
