Thank you to everyone for your patience as we work through maintaining adequate heat in this historic building. While the brick structure adds character and charm, it does present challenges in retaining warmth. We appreciate your understanding as we continue to address this issue.

I hope everyone is staying warm this weekend and maintains safety while we brace and ride out this snow storm! 🌨️

🎪 Did You Spot the Clown? 🤡
If you happened to catch Art the Clown marching through the streets and “clowning around” during the parade, we want to see it! 😆📸

Share your pictures, videos, or funny moments — we’d love to see all the smiles, laughs, and maybe even a few screams he brought to the crowd!

Friendly Reminder from Virginia Avenue Event Center

As we head into a busy season, we kindly ask that everyone please make sure to clean up at the end of your event and finish within your scheduled time. This helps us properly sanitize and prepare for the next celebration.

We truly appreciate everyone who has chosen to book with us, your support means so much! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your special moments, and we hope you enjoy every minute at Virginia Avenue Event Center!

Important Update
We’ve recently experienced a big increase in messages and phone calls regarding events due to the closure of another event center. We want you to know that we are working as quickly as possible to respond and assist everyone.

Please keep in mind that we also work full-time jobs outside of managing events, so it may take a little time for us to get back to you. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we do our best to help each of you.

Thank you for your support!
