We've been busy growing for you!
With more space and greater amenities, we're ready to host your meetings and events.
Our new 18,000-square-foot expansion makes the Yakima Convention & Event Center among the five largest convention, conference and event centers in Washington and the second largest in central and eastern Washington. The expansion increases the total square footage by more than 26% to just under 90,000 square feet.
With more space and flexible room configurations we can host your group as it grows, host more events at once, invite larger groups and welcome different types of events.
