Conventions

Since 1982, the Peoria Civic Center has been hosting conventions, tradeshows, and public events. Over 500 event days a year equates to experience you can count on.  Our repeat business is a testament to the high level of customer service that our staff provides for each client. Combine a midwestern touch of hospitality with facility values that are down to earth, and the Peoria Civic Center is a smart choice for event planners.
