ABOUT US


Welcome to the La Crescent Area Event Center!
Located in the Southeast corner and Apple Capitol of Minnesota sits the La Crescent Area Event Center! We opened our doors in 2019. 
We are a small but mighty team of proactive and enthusiastic event professionals. We are also directed by a Board of 11 Minnesota & Wisconsin business owners, Veterans and locals. 

The La Crescent Area Event Center is a beautifully modern facility that offers many unique on-site amenities. Two unique amenities at the Event Center are only steps away; the Swing Bridge Pub and Best Western Plus. The Swing Bridge Pub offers a simply up-scale menu in the restaurant. The Swing Bridge may also provide catering and bar service for any event at the La Crescent Area Event Center. The Best Western Plus has over 60 hotel rooms for you and your guests. The Best Western also offers a pool, fitness center, breakfast area and rentable, private meeting room. Please visit our 'Gallery' tab to view examples of the other amenities and benefits we offer at the La Crescent Area Event Center!

We host over 250 events a year ranging from Weddings, Birthday Parties, Retirement Parties, Baby Showers, Award Ceremonies, Celebrations of Life, Business Meetings, Banquets, Holiday Celebrations, Markets, Fundraisers, Anniversary Parties, Choral Concerts, Corporate Presentations,
