Celeste Center

Celeste Center Floor Plan

This modern facility can transform itself from a 10,200 seat concert hall . . . to a 300-booth trade show . . . to a banquet hall hosting thousands . . . to an equine and livestock center . . . to a sports coliseum – almost overnight. The Celeste Center makes versatility an art, in impressive dimensions. There’s 60,000 sq. ft. of unobstructed floor space; a permanent stage, 75′ W x 32′ D, and temporary staging up to 60′ W x 32′ D’; and peak ceiling height of 53′. It also features air conditioning, an excellent sound system, dressing rooms with showers, large restrooms, office space, concession stands and a full-color outdoor electronic marquee. The Celeste Center has the ability to be whatever you need it to be.
