It’s a multi-purpose arena that has brought a range of entertainment to the area but is also known for the passionate community it serves.
The Hammond Civic Center is more than just a building. It’s a vibrant hub of the community, a place where people come together to celebrate, to cheer, to be entertained. It boasts over 75 years of memorable moments. It’s a place of history, a place of entertainment, and a place of community spirit.
