The Downtown Event Center is a warm and welcoming pavilion that is home to community events such as weddings, anniversary parties, and adult-ed classes. The elegant and modern facility is equally tuned for hosting business and economic development functions such as networking events, conferences, press releases, and non-profit board meetings.
