Main menu

The Benton Civic Center is a multi-purpose facility located in the heart of Southern Illinois. Rend Lake, voted one of the Seven Wonders of Illinois, lies just to the north with Interstate 57 only several hundred yards to the east providing easy access to all of mid-america.

The Center features a unique capability to host a variety of events with seating up to 1,200 for meetings and theatrical events in a flexible seating environment. Dinner and banquet seating can range from 100 to 800 guests seated comfortably at tables throughout the main floor area.

Look for big changes in the near future!  We will shortly be embarking on the second phase of our major remodeling project.  New chairs, carpeting, paint, and the addition of a 6,000 sq. ft. theatrical stage and backstage performance area will complement our already completed heating and air conditioning upgrade.  The new Benton Civic Center will be even more exciting and flexible for your future event.

Call us at (618) 435-5700 for more details. Our main office is open daily from 9AM - 1PM.

 

The Center is still serving the public until March

Our remodeling schedule has been a bit of a moving target but we're starting to narrow down the details.  We thought we would be closed January and February but that's been changed.  So the Center IS AVAILABLE for events during the first two months of the new year.  Give us a call and mention that you saw this on our website for special pricing.

 

Attend an exciting evening of nonstop brusing action as Griffins Den of Mt. Vernon and the Benton Civic Center present top amateur MMA athletes from across southern Illinois and the midwest. Doors open at 6PM and the action gets underway at 7PM.  Scheduled to appear.
