Florence Center Is at Crossroads of Entertainment
Published Nov 17, 2009
Florence is alive with entertainment, shows and events, and the Florence Civic Center is the crossroads for much of that activity.
The award-winning center includes more than 50,000 square feet of multipurpose space.
The venue, with its 10,000-seat arena, 15,000-square-foot exhibit hall and several individual meeting rooms, is home to the Florence Symphony Orchestra, Florence Phantoms indoor football team and the Pee Dee Cyclones hockey team.
The exhibit hall was extensively refurbished in 2007 and can serve as a formal banquet hall with seating for 1,000 people, meeting space for up to 1,400 people or exhibitor space for up to 84 eight-foot by 10-foot booths.
High speed Internet access is available throughout the center.
The center hosts a range of events, from concerts, bull riding, wrestling and motorcycle racing to family shows such as Disney on Ice, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus and Sesame Street Live.
Located at the junction of Interstate 95 and Interstate 20, just a few miles from Florence Regional Airport, the center is the hub of a regional hospitality industry that includes 3,700 hotel rooms and abundant shopping and restaurant options that are close by.
Among the major selling points to promoters and event organizers is the overall affordability of the venue, which includes a staff of professional meeting planners and full catering services.
The center, which opened in 1993, has won multiple Prime Site Awards, given annually by Facilities Media Group in New York.
The awards, which only a small group of venues receive each year, are based on voting from booking agents, promoters and talent buyers.
