Palmer Events Center, Exhibition center in Downtown Austin, United States
Palmer Events Center is an exhibition venue in Downtown Austin with large, column-free spaces and outdoor areas near Butler Park. The facility features multiple meeting rooms, display halls, and an open-air pavilion designed to accommodate different types of events.
The site began as an aircraft hangar that Austin purchased in 1940 and later transformed into a civic gathering space. This evolution shows how the location shifted from a single industrial purpose to serving the broader community.
The center serves as a gathering place where Austin residents and visitors come together for concerts, festivals, and community celebrations throughout the year. People use the space to experience local culture and connect with others in the city.
The location is centrally situated with around 11,000 hotel rooms nearby, making it easily accessible for out-of-town visitors. Multiple entrances and parking options are available to accommodate different event sizes and visitor flows.
The facility operates entirely on renewable energy through Austin's Green Choice Program and recycles about half of its waste. This commitment to sustainability makes it noteworthy among event venues.
