Home to the Spokane Symphony, the Best of Broadway series, and numerous concerts and presentations ranging from country music to light rock, the Opera House is a facility that celebrates the performing arts and the community in which we live. Almost every high school and local college graduates seniors from the Opera House stage.
Conventions use the facility regularly for plenary sessions and entertainment events.
In the summer of 1975, renovations from the World's Fair presentations to a Convention Center were finished, and the facility became home for public shows, conventions and community celebrations. In January of 1989, Spokane's major meetings, exhibits and special events facilities became complete with the opening of the Ag Trade Center. Adding ballroom, banquet, and meeting space to the Convention Center exhibit hall and the Opera House formal seating vaulted Spokane into national conventions contention. Many cities have larger facilities. None have better.
