Fort Worth Convention Center, arena and convention center
The Fort Worth Convention Center is a large event venue in downtown Fort Worth with over 200,000 square feet of exhibit space, multiple meeting rooms, and an arena seating 13,000 people. The facility also includes a 55,000-square-foot outdoor plaza that connects directly to the Water Gardens park.
The convention center opened in 1968 and has shaped Fort Worth's event scene ever since. A major expansion in 2003 added modern facilities and established it as one of the top event venues in the southwestern United States.
The Fort Worth Convention Center reflects how the city has evolved as a gathering place for regional and national meetings. It serves as a backdrop for events that draw diverse communities together, reinforcing Fort Worth's role as a hub for business and entertainment.
The venue is easily accessible by car with ample parking and a free shuttle service along the downtown Blue Line. The facility features ramps, elevators, and WiFi throughout, ensuring comfortable access for all visitors attending events.
The Events Plaza connects the convention center directly to the Water Gardens, a public water feature art installation where visitors can spend time before or after events. This direct link between the venue and a public gathering space creates a unique flow between indoor and outdoor areas.
