Mayor Terry Hartwick’s 20‑year vision has officially come to life; the North Little Rock Event Center is now open and ready to welcome the community. Over 650 City leaders, residents, and guests gathered Tuesday evening for a celebratory ceremony followed by self‑guided tours of the stunning new facility. Guests explored the elegant Centennial Bank Ballroom with its soaring ceilings and dazzling lighting, the flexible Mainstream Boardrooms, the state‑of‑the‑art catering kitchen, and more.

The evening offered a moment to reflect on years of planning and collaboration, and to look ahead to the bright future of North Little Rock. With new hotels and businesses rising around the Event Center, the development is poised to transform the Arena District and downtown, strengthening North Little Rock as a premier place to live, eat, work, play—and now celebrate! The City extends its sincere thanks to everyone who attended and to Central Arkansas Entertainment for helping to create a beautiful opening night experience. We look forward to the many events and memories this new space will host in the years ahead.
