The Northwest Valley location of the Maricopa County Events Center provides a huge
local audience pool. 2.2 million people live within 20 miles of the MCEC… and the
west side is growing fast!
The 14 cities of the West Valley are a diverse group:
- Sun City, Sun City West & Youngtown originally formed the core neighborhood
for the venue when it opened in 1980 and now contain 80,000 affluent, active retirees
- Several well-established cities in the area (Avondale, El Mirage, Tolleson) are
primarily Hispanic families with deep roots in the area.
- The next wave of cities was established by mid-life families looking for affordable
homes in affluent neighborhoods like Surprise, Litchfield Park and the Arrowhead
Town Centre.
- The newest wave is young families looking for affordable homes in one of the few
areas the city can continue to grow into.
Maricopa County Events Center offers a variety of different spaces and configurations
to provide maximum flexibility for your event.

The Events Center Auditorium is the largest single-level performing arts space in
the world. The 7,034-seat auditorium is configured in a continental seating style
featuring comfortable 40-inch deep rows ringing a 60 feet wide x 40 feet deep proscenium
thrust stage.
A 5,700 square foot dance floor may be created in front of the stage by taking the
first 10 rows of portable seating out. The space comfortably fits 30 72" rounds
or space for up to 500 couples to dance. This space has also been used for judges
tables and exhibition space.
The spacious, light-filled 9,000 square foot lobby area can seat 500 for dinner
or accommodate 1,800 in a cocktail configuration.
Alternatively, a portion of the lobby can be curtained off for a private party before,
during or after a public event or concert.
Shaded awnings, a beautiful central fountain and mature landscaping make the 7,500
square foot outdoor courtyard a unique space for informal outdoor gatherings.
The Maricopa County Events Center's sizeable parking lot is the perfect venue for
hosting entertainment attractions and fun events. From tent parties or
roaming events for up to 5,000 guests, receptions to company cookouts, we take care
of them all.
