Step back in time, envision a space overflowing with excitement. In front of you stands the Pontchartrain Convention and Civic Center, a beacon of community spirit and entertainment in Kenner, Louisiana. Opened in 1991, this multi-purpose arena vibrates with the energy of concerts, Mardi Gras balls, sporting events, and trade shows. It’s a space where people come together to celebrate, learn, and connect.
Think beyond the typical convention center, though. The Pontchartrain Convention and Civic Center boasts 46,080 square feet of exhibit space and 14,681 square feet of meeting rooms. This is a space that can be transformed for any occasion, from intimate gatherings of fifty to massive events for 3,700 people. Imagine attending a trade show where you can explore booths showcasing the latest technology, or a concert featuring your favorite musician. This vibrant space can be a place for business or pleasure, a space where New Orleans’ energy pulses through its every corner.
And just beyond the center’s impressive facade, you’ll find a bonus. The Pontchartrain Convention and Civic Center is conveniently located on Williams Blvd, adjacent to the Treasure Chest Casino and the Hilton Garden Inn. So, after enjoying a concert or trade show, you can easily grab a bite to eat, try your luck at the casino, or book a relaxing stay at the hotel. It’s a truly unique and exciting spot that encapsulates Louisiana’s spirit.
