concerts, and various family shows as well as an arena for
sporting events and trade shows. it features 4,806 permanent
seats and the ability to accommodate an audience of up to 7,200
people.
Since opening its doors in 1979, the Glens Falls Civic Center has
been host to the entertainment world's top touring shows. One
of the Glens Falls civic Center's goals is to add to the artistic
and cultural offerings in our region. With the support of the
Arts Initiative program, administered by LARAC, the Glens Falls
Civic Center was able to bring an internationally recognized dance
troupe to the region for a high level production of "Rhythm of the
Dance" in 2006, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" in 2005, and
"Singing in the Rain" in 2004 to name a few.
Looking ahead on March 8, "Clifford the Big Red Dog LIVE!" will
take to the stage in a live musical adventure at 10:309 am and 6:30
pm. On March 11, the third annual "Celtic Festival" takes
place featuring the live music of Black 47 as well as Kevin McKrell
and friends, vendors, food, and fun from 12 noon through 8 pm.
On march 30, the Glens Falls civic Center Foundation is holding its
third annual "Laugh the Night Away" fundraiser. This will
feature the comedy of comedian Jeff Caldwell who is know to
audiences nationwide as a clean, clever comedian, with one of the
brightest standup acts around. This event is in Heritage
Hall, an on-site dining and banquet facility at the Glens Falls
Civic Center. The evening will consist of a social hour,
sit-down dinner, comedy and a silent auction. On April 5,
Grammy-winning band Evanescence will perform with special guests
