This is a "small cell" cellular phone tower. They are usually used to offload the capacity of a larger tower nearby. They're useful during large events like concerts, sporting events or parades. It looks like that because it has a cover to hide the radios and antennas from view. They can also be painted different colors to better blend in with the scenery.
